Safety Cone

I took this picture during Jidai matsuri, but I guess I forgot to put it up.
It reads "Center Line Here"

That's good to know, how else would I know that I'm supposed to land on the sidewalk instead of in the road?

I notice that it didn't really make any difference to the Japanese drivers, though. But then neither do the regular traffic laws in Japan...

And what is it that you are thinking of landing there with, Komitadjie? I'm curious.

Well, given the range requirements, probably the 'vark with the bay housing a fuel tank, and all four of the swiveling pylons with drop tanks. Probably slap at least a couple of AMRAAMs on the outer pylon sides, though, just for insurance.

You could just save yourself the trouble and strap those 120s on a KC-135 or something. It may not have the hard points, but duct tape can work miracles.

Hmm, true, and I'll bet the 120 is versatile enough that you could just rig it to light from a fuse, then have the seeker turn on and home on target.

I'm having fun mental images of lighting an AMRAAM like a bottle rocket, and tossing it out the cargo door.

Is it just supposed to acquire some random target en..propelled?

You probably don't want to point the AMRAAM at something you don't want blown up, even if it is only 10 pounds of explosives. One of the reasons the AMRAAM exists is so that you can do just that: light the fuse and run away.
