Gives the B2s something to do I guess :haha:

Good luck to them!

I can hear the call "Rat's Away!"

TLAM Strike 10-01-10 07:30 PM

I hope none of the payload fails to drop. Hate to know what a formally frozen dead rat smells like after a week.

It would be interesting to see what type of nose art the planes had. Do they even do that anymore?

I'm thinking that's either a B-52G or H.

That would be a guy named Frank Frazetta I believe and yeah he did. That particular one was for an album cover.

That's a familiar name. Thought the artwork looked familiar, too. :)

By outfitting the mice with cardboard wings and green party streams, the bait could float down to the jungle and catch on the branches.

I love the barrack art. There's some examples at Bentwaters and Parham airfields from WWII and the Cold War, it's brilliant stuff.

Platapus 10-02-10 12:18 PM

Well this is an innovative solution to the problem. :yeah:

I wonder if some other animal that we don't want to get rid of, might eat these poisoned rats?
