GBU-12 Loadout release results in aircraft damage


Recommended Posts

Posted

I haven't flow the Mirage in a while and have been testing out different air-to-ground loadouts. I am having problems with the 4 x GBU-12 setup with the two bags under the wings; the first GBU releases without a problem (I bomb a JTAC lased target from about 12,000ft up with about a 5 degree nose up attitude in CCRP. After the second release I hear a bang that usually results in damage on the belly of the aircraft and I usually lose the functionality of one of my main landing gear legs.

During the release I am pulling at least 1G or slightly more, so I am not flying into the GBU. This has happened twice in a row now which leads me to think that there might be an issue with how the GBU-12's come off the pylons in close proximity.

Has anyone else experienced this?

I can't say I have this happen.   The night before last I did a 4 LGB bomb run online.  Had zero issues.  

 

Also did a 4 82SE low alt run at 500ft agl, no issues. 

 

Had an issue when a ZSU-23-4 decided to put holes in my engine...
