VA25 Toilet Bomb

Maybe if you can do a Navy version say like VA25 then possibly
hang a little goodie (see link) from one of the pylons.
BTW I use to work on The Navy version when I was stationd
at NAS Cubi Pt.....Back in late 60's. Those 20MM were hydraulic
operated while the 20's in the F8's I worked on were pneumatic.

Don't know about the version with the "toilet bomb." But I sure would like to get my hands on the beastie!
 
Toilet Bomb

For you Brits that's the weaponized version of John Crapper's famous invention. (Thank heavens for John Crapper!)
 
Hahaha, but what did it do? I mean did they litterally just drop a bog on someone or was it filled with explosives so the porcelain or what ever there made out of would act as shrapnel? Honestly in all my time of reading and studying military aviation I've never seen or heard anything about this, you think you know it all then whack you learn something new! Very funny, but also quite disturbing, and I thought it was us Brits with the sick sense of humour for toilet jokes! :icon_lol:
 
History Unknown (X File Case)

I would speculate that the carrier guys were just being polite, i.e., the enemy was getting the crap bombed out of it so it was only fair to provide them a crapper. That's how you pass the day away in the merry ole' land of CV-60 (the sucking sixty from dixie for those that have served on her or flown from her decks)!

First time I've seen it. Don't remember it being on any of the other Spad topics I read.

LOLOL.

I’ve seen that photo before, but it was a long time ago, and I never even thought of it, even when reading about A-1s, until Moses posted that pic. It is a little bit funny, you have to admit, although I don’t quite follow. I guess they couldn’t find a “kitchen sink” to throw at them, and this was the best they could do on short notice…

Looking forward to the new Skyraider!
 
finally someone sees the humor...I was beginning to wonder :kilroy: about this crowd....again.

The topic came up on the 1c forums a few times - mention the Spad and that pic comes up - over in simhq...mention the Spad on any board and that pic comes up - got an issue of Flight Journal featuring the Spad with a great article....and that pic with commentary was in it.

So if you haven't seen it before - well - there it is.
