EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases an early production United States Air Force (USAF) Northrop F-89D-5-NO Scorpion, specifically 51-0415, adorned with an impressive armament of 104 2.75 inch Mighty Mouse rockets housed in the wing-tip weapon-fuel pods. The F-89D Scorpion, number 16, was manufactured by Northrop and produced in 1954. The aircraft, which is seen here in its rocket-only configuration, was later assigned to the 176th Fighter Interception Squadron of the Wisconsin Air National Guard. The F-89D Scorpion, a versatile and advanced fighter interceptor of its time, was equipped with various weapon systems, including cannons and air-to-air missiles, but in this instance, it is depicted with an extensive rocket arsenal. The image transports us back to the mid-1950s, offering a glimpse into the evolution of military aviation technology and the role of the USAF in maintaining air defense capabilities.
