We (Air Force) might not be able to tell the difference between nukes and other maintenance that we fly across the country... but at least we don't drop the **** in the middle of a city, from high altitudes.

Practice Bomb Dropped On Virginia Beach

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. -- The Navy said a small, inert training bomb fell Tuesday from an fighter jet that was heading to Oceana Naval Air Station. No one was hurt.

The Navy said the bomb landed near a warehouse in the resort city of Virginia Beach. Minimal damage was reported.

The F/A-18C Hornet was returning to Oceana following a training mission at the Navy's bombing range in Dare County, N.C., when it dropped the bomb.

The jet landed safely.

Naval authorities were investigating.

LOL, I heard that story today. They were saying on the radio it was a 10 lb bomb. I thought those guys carried the big stuff.

Probably just a little BDU-33, or similar, practice bomb. Basically just a metal shape with a 12ga round in it. Hits the ground and makes a puff of smoke and a little bang to let you know where you struck.

I just found it funny that they let one go over Va Beach.

That makes sense, I kinda figured you'd want something closer to the actual size and weight of the real daddy mac though. What do I know, I'm just a boot.
