I visited the USS Midway in San Diego yesterday and saw this selector dial while sitting in an A-7 Corsair cockpit:
Cool!

I was an aircraft weapons tech in the Airforce in the 60's and 70's. I used to load Bullpup air to groung missles on F-4C's D's and E fighter jets in Viet Nam. They used the hell out of them in 'Nam.

AGM-12, isn't it?

Correct. The AGM-12B is solid fuel, conventional warhead only. AGM12C is liquid fuel, much larger and heavier and at one time was nuc capable. After launch, the pilot guides it in with a "joy stick". It's pretty old technology.
