They called it the 'cheeseburger' bomb because (they said) of what it did to the impact area. There was also a picture of one of the impact areas. It sort of looked like a cheeseburger in black and white. The center was dark and there was a white area around the dark part. Don't remember what kind of explosive was used. I do remember that it was on a pallet with a cargo chute and rode in a Hercules. ============================================================= Chesley Reyburn ...tektronix!ogccse!cvedc!cmr ECAE Software, Prime Computers, Inc. ...sun!cvbnet!cvedc!cmr 14952 NW Greenbrier Parkway ...sequent!cvedc!cmr Beaverton, Oregon 97006 Phone 503/645-2410 =============================================================
