Re: Fixes for the iraqi OOB
I recall reading once that an F-4 could get off the ground carrying 24 x 500# bombs. And as long as the target was at the far end of the runway it had the operational range with that load to bomb it.
For the most part aircraft carry about half what they are capable of getting off the ground with because they need fuel to get to the target and loiter till they're called in. And getting home after is always nice too.
