Gives the B2s something to do I guess

Good luck to them!

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

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?

They sure do...

^ The camels are obvious what WTF is the crab for?

^ one of the best I've ever seen. Whoever did that could make lots of money as an artist.

Not sure what this aircraft is, but it has a lot of gizmos.

^This one was on a wall of an A-10 squadron's barracks. My personal favorite.

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.

Well this is an innovative solution to the problem.

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