The OMS pods were there when I visited Udvar-Hazy two months ago.
Perhaps NASA repossesed them for use in cross-country orbiter ferry flights.

They will be reattached. Donald |

Talos could be used in a surface-to-surface mode as well as its primary surface-to-air mode, and was jet (ramjet) powered. It also was capable of carrying the W-30 nuclear warhead of 5 KT yield for attacks on ships or large formations of aircraft. So yes, you might be able to refer to it as a sort of cruise missile....although that would be a bit misleading in regards to its primary function. In actual wartime service, its main operational use was as a ship launched long range anti-radiation missile for attacks on North Vietnamese radar sites: http://www-personal.umich.edu/~buzznau/bmblbee.html Pat |

(Also missing bits of RCC on one wing, but that's accounted for). I didn't even notice at the time - must have been paying too much attention to our 11-year-old as he ran off toward the Enola Gay...
