back in 98 i had 4 vietnam era mk 88 practice bombs. each 1 was 10 feet long, 44 inches diameter, still packed in steel girdered crates. they weighed roughly 200 pounds each. i sold them to a guy in alabama 50 bucks each over my cost. quite a disappointment sales wise due to size & weight in regard to shipping. the spouse bitched up a storm for me to 86 them, & i did so most promptly to avoid the preverbial woman's scorn (liken it to detente) my neighbors thought i was nuts when they saw them!! this was during the oklahoma city bombing tragedy. the truck driver that picked them up on an open flat bed semi truck had a rough time getting back to the new owner, & was stopped 5 times by the cops for inspection & examination of his bill of lading. |

Not sure if the Wings of the North guys could use them on the F-86 parked out at Flying Cloud in Minnesota or not? |
