F-15E Strike Eagle Desert Storm and CR

Post by Stafsels »

Hi all,

Short questions:
Did the F-15E Strike Eagles during Desert Storm 1990 use the centerline mounted 30mm gun pod?

Did the F-15 Eagles of 32TFS also fly with this pod

And last but not least: do the Strike Eagle still uses this gun pod?

Greetings,

Stafsels

-Only F-16 from 174th TFS carried that pod in the Gulf war
-32nd TFS did not fly with this pod
-no, I thing not because it is not useful in medium and high level operations, only laser en GPS weapons are used now
