For a friend

The video below the fold is interesting and I am posting it for my friend, Brad’s enjoyment.

    Yeah, I saw that video at another site a few days ago. Pretty damn cool.

    The same miniaturized warhead technology that made the Genie air to air rocket possible was also used in a variety of other small tactical nuclear weapons that were developed during the 1950’s, like the ASROC, the SUBROC and the Davy Crocket. I think they had a Genie rocket on display at the National Test Site Museum in Las Vegas.

    In the early part of the video it looks like the silhouette of an F-89 Scorpion Fighter-Intercepter followed by a B-57 light bomber (probably acting in the role of a chase plane).
