Anybody have any idea what the first front line application of the Vulcan rotary cannon was? I have some ideas but have no way to cross reference at this time. And on that note, how many other aircraft have had this cannon? My list so far comprises:
F-104
F-105 (?)
F-4E/F
A-7
B-52H (in T-171 config, no longer used)
F-111D
F-14
F-15
F-16
F/A-18
I’m not sure if the F-106 or the F-101 used this gun and if the 101 did, it might be the first. Judging by roll outs maybe the BUFF was the first, but again i need the help.
