Again, a little on the short side, a little expansion or dabbling in Google Books wouldn't hurt. WikiCopter (♠ • ♣ • ♥ • ♦ • simple • commons • lost • cvu • onau) 16:49, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I dug through gBooks pretty extensively, but I'll have another go and see if there isn't anything else I can find. :) - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 20:39, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Is there an image of a Stratofortress carrying the bomb? Better yet, an image/movie of a plane launching it (best of all, a movie of it hitting it's target!). WikiCopter (♠ • ♣ • ♥ • ♦ • simple • commons • lost • cvu • onau) 22:45, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Heh, that would be nifty. I'll see what I can do about a photo. As for videos, I'm not sure how to upload those - it'll be 'till Tuesday 'till I can make a full search for them at all. A quick Youtube search turns up two Tarzon videos - both probably copyvio of Discovery Channel shows. There is what seems to be an official Air Force video of RAZON on Youtube, though: [1]. But I'll see what I can do! - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 08:08, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, that would. Aside from that, I can pass the article. I think you upload files through the Upload file link on the left of the page, right? WikiCopter (♠ • ♣ • ♥ • ♦ • simple • commons • lost • cvu • onau) 15:18, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I wasn't clear. Yeah, I know how to upload - what I meant was I'm unsure how to save a video file, convert it to .OGG, etc. (Especially since I can't do that at home thanks to the stupid computer...). I couldn't quickly find any photos of the bomb being carried or released, but I did find one of its being loaded, which I've added to the article along with some additional information. :) - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 18:01, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Is .ogg the only format supported? WikiCopter (♠ • ♣ • ♥ • ♦ • simple • commons • lost • cvu • onau) 21:36, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Dunno. It seems to be the one most commonly used. Don't know how to do any of them, though. =P - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 22:47, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oh well. I'll pass while you figure it out. WikiCopter (♠ • ♣ • ♥ • ♦ • simple • commons • lost • cvu • onau) 22:49, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. And I'll see what I can do about a video on Tuesday. :) - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 22:59, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Television guided, or not?

A number of sources claim that the VB-13 was equipped with the television guidance system from the Roc. here is one example, but you can find many similar claims. I believe these are due to what one account suggests is simply a naming issue, that several different devices were all called "Roc" and perhaps these are being confused? In any event I would like to see more on this, does anyone have good sources? Maury Markowitz (talk) 17:39, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
