USAF Bomb Carriage, Jettison, and Release Limits Table, dated 15 Jul 71
Dated 15 July 1971, this detailed table lists the precise airspeed and G-load limits for carrying, jettisoning, and releasing standard bomb types - M-117, MK-82, MK-84, and their high-drag/fuze-extender variants - from specific weapon stations on the F-4 Phantom. Down to the knot and the tenth of a G, figures like these governed every strike mission flown from Da Nang Air Base during the Vietnam War, ensuring bombs left the aircraft safely under a wide range of combat flight conditions.
