Just a quick question regarding typical weapons load whilst carrying TARPS.
I'm just finishing up VF-2's CAG bird (Bullet 100) ~2003; I have it with the TARPS slung underneath, but at present I only have 2 AIM-9 on the pylons... I've only seen a couple of pics of this a/c with TARPS, and only carrying this load, so I'm pretty much basing the load it's carrying just on one or 2 pics for now.
Is it within the realms of possibility that they would also have carried AIM-7 on a typical mission too? And what about the AN/ALQ-167 pod? I've seen pics of Tomcats carrying this with TARPS, and others without. I haven't seen the specific a/c I am depicting with the pod, but can anyone confirm/deny whether it would or wouldn't have flown with it? I'd like to add both, but not at the expense of accuracy.
Thanks
Daryl
