That Tomcat gate guard at Point Mugu has always bugged the heck out of me. I was running the Point Mugu Missile Museum when they were prepping BH-224 for the stick, and they never asked me for Sidewinder 'shapes'. I had TONS of them! Instead, they let a civilian over at AIMD make a couple 'pod-winders' with two TACTS pods and a couple welded fins. One of the fins has already fallen off.

Seems to me that a guate guard Tomcat, in front of the Navy's premiere sea test range facility (where she was developed!), should be wearing correct weapons. Maybe that's just me.
