I don't know, I really can't imagine dropping a nuke from a small plane like that. It's pretty much a one-way trip if you do.

In the CW you would likely have flown through too much radiation on the way there so it wouldn't matter.

 

There are methods for employment and avoiding the blast - though whether they work or not..........

This is some of the ways how the Soviets planed to use their tactical nukes from planes like the Su-7b.  I believe that our fighters from the same time would use similar methods when at low altitude, and a parachute delayed bomb when attacking from higher up:
