I was reminded of the AGM-129 Advance Cruise Missile today, which reminded me of the small heavily illustrated booklet on the AGM-129 I put together a few years ago. It’s probably not too late to buy a couple hundred of these as Christmas presents for your friends and family. Here’s a retread of the original post from Back Then:

– – – – – –
Literally years in the making, I’ve put together two versions of a photo essay of several surviving examples of the AGM-129 Advanced Cruise Missile. Available free for the downloading is Stagger Around #3: AGM-129 Advanced Cruise Missile, Abridged Edition as a 13 page PDF booklet. This contains photos of the AGM-129s on display at Hill Aerospace Museum in Utah, the USAF Museum in Dayton and the Strategic Air & Space Museum in Nebraska, ready to print.

Also available is Stagger Around #3: AGM-129 Advanced Cruise Missile, Full Edition. This 34-page edition includes more photos of these missiles, along with the missile at the San Diego Aerospace Museum restoration facility, a rare General Dynamics display model, official USAF photos of the AGM-129 in test and in service and drawings of the missile, including 1/32 scale layout diagrams. This is available through MagCloud, either as a downloadable PDF ($5.75) or as a professionally printed and bound edition ($11.80).

Don’t forget to check out my other MagCloud publications, including Justo Miranda’s Reichdreams Dossiers, Aerospace Projects Review, Historical Documents, and Photographing Stuff.

And don’t forget to check out Stagger Around #1, F-104A Starfighter, and Stagger Around #2, Starship Enterprise.

NOTE:

If you liked this and want to see more like it… feel free to toss fifty cents, a buck, a hundred bucks, whatever, my way. Think of it as a donation to a worthy cause. Or a bribe. Whatever you’re more comfortable with.

When I originally put this out in 2012, the PDF version was orderable through MagCloud. If anyone wants to order it straight from here like most of my other stuff, let me know.

AGM-129 Stealth Cruise Missile

The AGM-129 entered service and was withdrawn from service, all pretty much entirely without fanfare. It was a stealthy cruise missile with a faceted nose, a flush NACA-style inlet for its turbojet on the underside and flip-out forward swept wings. Very little information about this has been made public over the years; not even a decent layout drawing of the thing. Oddly, though, multiple AGM-129’s are on display at museums around the country. I’ve taken photos and measurements made by myself and others, along with a few simple but official General Dynamics diagrams, and constructed a set of layout drawings for the AGM-129.

I’ve also made available a high-rez version of this that prints out at 1/48 scale when printed at 300 dpi (fits on a standard sheet of paper). And it’s free of charge… *if* you have a copy of Aerospace Projects Review issue V1N1. When you click on the link to the drawing, you should be prompted for a username and password; the username is “v1n1,” and the password is… the first word on page 11 of V1N1 (remember that capitalization counts).

Off to the right, under the search bar and above the categories, should be some social media submission buttons… Facebook, Reddit, etc. So any of y’all that are into submitting links to those… well, there ya go, I guess.

Given the rather dismal rollout of the AGM-129 Stagger Around, I need all the help I can scrounge up.

Hill has a Stealth

I wandered by Hill Aerospace Museum a while back and was surprised to see that they have an AGM-129 stealth cruise missile on display. On close inspection, this one seems to have been “restored” by spackling over all the surface details. Granted there weren’t that many to begin with, but they even plugged up the tailpipe.
