How about a T-45 Goshawk with Hawk 100 and 200 series capabilities?

Strange coincidence, similar looking helicopter, similar sounding company.
The Kaman HH-43 Huskie pics from http://cybermodeler.com/aircraft/hh-43/huskie09.shtml
I think this was the scene where they did a high speed run down a undersea canyon or valley and were timing their turns to avoid crashing.
Looks like the wingtip Sidewinder rail caught the wire, is the Hornet the only carrier plane to have these?
What equipment was removed before the museum took delivery of it?
Could it ever be put back into service if needed?
WOW!!!!!
Yes they did, the USS ARTHUR W. RADFORD (DD 968)

Didn’t the US Navy fit a prototype integrated mast to a Spruance class destroyer?
Fuel pods are used in the B-1B like you suggest and I have seen a old proposal for a fixed wing B-1 which could be fitted with fuel pods and a flying boom for tanker duties.
Take a look at the Federation of American Scientists B-1 and B-2 pages for rotary launcher payloads.

I think in original form the CSRL didn’t carry a mix of weapons due to software limitations.
I guess you could find out the width of the B-1Bs weapon bay and use that for your aircraft.
I guess the Migs have the advantage in missile terms (helmet cueing system) if the F-16s only have Sidewinders, but tactics and circumstances make it impossible to tell.
The Common Strategic Rotary Launcher is 265 inches long according to my book on the B-1B, I’ll leave the metric conversion to you 🙂
