LieutenantFalcon Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AGM-123_Skipper_II Are we getting this?

They already added the TALD to post-EA, so I don't see why they couldn't add the Skipper II Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rescue Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Sweet reminder. I would like to have this one too. Although i don't have the knowledge if this was ever used on the F/A-18 or just tested. There are reports of usage on A-6s. Greetings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianL Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Pretty sure this was last used by the Navy in 1997. So will not be coming to our 2007 era hornet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tholozor Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 IIRC the Skipper isn't listed as a valid payload in the TAC manuals. Can't check at work right now.

Don't remember any squadron carrying the walleye in 2007, but here it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walleye is still listed in the TAC manual though, so it still had the capability in the 2000s, despite the weapon being retired in the early 90s.
