    AIM 4E Falcon

    From the album: AIM-4E

  13. Absolutely, Ravenclaw! I just uploaded 40 pics to the same folder. Yeah, that's probably overkill... I included some close ups of one of the wings too. They are all the same, less serial numbers and date of manufacture. One is a Rev. G, the other three are Rev. E. Being new to this forum, (the only forum I've ever joined...) I'm not sure if I should just leave them in the folder, or drag them into this thread. Let me know if you would like any other photos or different angles of anything. I also have an AIM-4E Falcon (an old beater that I haven't started work on yet) and a full set of fins and wings for an AIM-9L/M, if you need any photos of those. I can accurately measure any features, if that is helpful to you. I take back what I said earlier about the missile spinning like a bullet. I watched a couple of videos on YT that clearly show that Bullpups spin counterclockwise, (looks more like a corkscrew) which is what the bent wing tips would cause. It makes me wonder how the guidance system knew which direction was up or down if it was constantly changing... I plan on making a trip to the Air Force museum in Dayton, OH in a couple of months to get a bunch of decent photos of the details I need.

    From the album: AGM-12

    Photos shows typical aft, outboard tip of wing with 5° (measured) bend. The 4 wings I have all have the bend in the same direction, which seems to indicate the missile would roll in flight, counterclockwise.
