The 421st carried their slammers on both the wingtip launchers and the outboard stations 2 & 8, but not at the same time. The basic load was 2 AIM-120s, 2 GBU-12s and JDAM....either a 2K or 500 Lb.

Another shot of the smaller JDAM....also the block 40 standard fuselage scab plates can be seen. Also, note the sidewinder rail again on the wing tip.

The overall generally dusty condition of the aircraft deployed to Iraq can be seen to good effect. Water was scarce, and there was little to spare for washing the jets. Empty 16S210 launcher on wing tips and carrying a LITENING II pod.

During the height of the battle for Falluja, the 421st began to employ the 500 lb GBU-38 JDAM instead of the 2,000 lb model. The GBU-38 being smaller caused less unintended damage in the tight confines of a city.
