Description

Bombing has come a long way from its primitive origins. Today, computers help pilots put bombs exactly where they want them. In this episode I cover some of the different ways that pilots “pickle,” or drop their bombs, and how the HUD and the fire control radar help them, even when dropping dumb bombs.
