AGM-45 Shrike

Taking a look at the AGM-45 Shrike, here is one being launched by F-4E 69-7231 in the 1988. The Shrike was developed in 1963 by mating an AIM-7 Sparrow to the seeker head of the rocket body. It was first used in 1965 by Navy A-4's and the following year the Air Force started using them aboard Thuds. #agm45 #f4e #shrike #usaf #aviationsafari #aviationpreservation #boneyardsafari
