Kirk your comment about the JSOW being a pig, is that because it is an

ugly
glider or a reference to its operation or performance as a weapon?

Neither, and much simpler: J SOW. Sow as in pig. Get it? There is a
neat JSOW patch that shows a flying pig on it in one of the JSOW
briefings I saw.

Of course, it is also a really ugly glider, although not as bad as a
PW-5 (insider glider pilot joke, that!).

As a weapon, well, it's basically 3/4 of a can of CBU. A weapon for
special targets, obviously.

Hmm, in the simulator Falcon4, I like JSOW because it's the only way to
destroy SAM sites on F15E. F15E doesn't handle HARM, so I need to use JSOW
and it works very nicely.
