FB-111 carried a big stick

A General Dynamics FB-111A prototype in flight. This aircraft, tail no. 63-9783, was the last pre-production F-111A and was modified to become an FB-111 prototype. It appears to be carrying six AGM-69 SRAM nuclear missiles on external pylons, which each had a 200-kiloton yield. This photo could have been edited for display purposes (or to mess with the Soviets), because what information I have found indicates this plane never flew. It is now a static display at Barksdale Air Force Base. Stay tuned for more. (U.S. Air Force photo)
