Sir; actually, that will be helpful. Although I have several questions ready to go, I'll be out of town Friday and Saturday (Wife and I will be going to the NASCAR races in Richmond); and wouldn't be able to give clues during that time. Please go ahead with your question. Besides, I don't want people to get tired of my questions. Over to you, tunakuts. Thanks; Ernie P.

close enough, I was looking for the tdr-1 navy version since they actually had a bunch operational on combat missions.

Do you mean "Which missile, and how many, has the B-52 carried - in addition to those mentioned in Wikipedia"?
(B-52 is still in active service and being upgraded)

Before that period of time the B-52 carried 2 different missiles.
My question: What were they and how many of each. Hope that clarifies things. Sorry.

OK, now I get it...
I think it must be:
AGM-28 Hound Dog - a B-52 could carry two of them
AGM-69 SRAM - max loadout 20 missiles: 8 internally and 6 on two pylons mounted under each wing.

before the AGM-68 SRAM the SRAM was In service 1972–1993 HINT:It didn't explode but it did fly.
Then I'll declare U the winner
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AGM-28_Hound_Dog

Hint: (Remember these don't blow up) B-52 could carry 8 of these but no bombs so they would carry 4 in the rear Bombay and Thermonuclear weapons in the front bomb bay,
and of course 2 AGM-28B's one under each wing.

How about the ADM-20 Quail?

BINGO! Must be your turn ... U wouldn't have had
any thing to do with the AGM-28B Hound Dog
or ADM-20 Quail in a former life.

All; a suggestion: When I first looked at HoundDog's question, the first thing that popped into my mind was a rememberance that the B-52 (and other then active nuclear armed bombers) at one time carried a decoy missile, intended to draw away air defense from the bomber it'self. Had I been able to follow up on searching for the answer, I would have had to do some research to find the exact answer.
When zippome posts his question, it will probably follow a similar pattern; I'll have an idea, correct or not correct, followed by some searching; to find and confirm the correct answer. During that search, I will invariably come across some tidbit of information I find interesting, and which could form the basis of a future question.
When I find such a tidbit, I simply copy some of the details and paste them into a permanent document I maintain. When I have the chance, I follow up, do a bit of research, and form a new question. That means I always have a few potential questions, ready to hand.
I know all of you run across the same little tidbits. Simply following the same process will ensure all of you have some eligible questions when needed. Again; just a suggestion. Thanks; Ernie P.

Ok guys here we go again...
1. Built in a country that did not use it as it was intended to be used.
2. One of the reasons was a design feature that made it be very good at its intended job.
3. It was used by at least one air force successfully .
Ok, that should set the ball rolling...

4. The wing had a couple of unusual features for the time. One was by design, one was a fix a mistake.

Well, I don't see anything rolling except maybe some eyeballs....
1. Built in a country that did not use it as it was intended to be used.

3. It was used by at least one air force successfully .
4. The wing had a couple of unusual features for the time. One was by design, one was a fix a mistake.
5. Of more than 1900 manufactured only 1 is still around on display. (as far as I can tell)
6. The aircraft was originally built to a standard of an air force foreign to the nation of manufacture.
Ok, hopefully that may generate some guesses!
Thanks,
Zip

7. This aircraft did not suffer heavy losses from enemy aircraft.
8. Later models "fixed" the earlier problems of poor forward visibility, but the fix made it harder to do it's job.

Tell you what, Zip; I don't think it will go much longer. If no one nails it by tomorrow evening, I'll venture a guess. But I think you have quite a few more clues to go before you run out. Thanks; Ernie P.
