55-3123 (cn 17239) 32 years after my last encounter (image 1572337) with the Airborne Laser Laboratory (ALL), here is a shot of the other side of the nose. Testing of the ALL culminated on May 26th, 1983 when the chemical laser firing from the dorsal turret shot down an AIM-9B missile. |

55-3123 (cn 17239) National Museum of the USAF. This NCK-135A is one of 14 KC-135As converted for special testing. This particular aircraft was used for experiments in the Airborne Laser Lab (ALL) program and carried a high energy laser that could be used against airborne targets. During experiments the laser destroyed five AIM-9 missiles and a BQM-34 target drone. (Canon 40D + 17-55 IS) |

55-3123 (cn 17239) The NKC-135A on display is one of 14 KC-135As permanently converted for special testing. It was extensively modified by the Air Force Weapons Laboratery at Kirtland AFB, New Mexico, and used in a 11-year experiment to prove a high-energy laser could be operated in an aircraft and employed against airborne targets. During the experiment, the Airborne Laser Lab destroyed five AIM-9 Sidewinder air-to-air missiles and a Navy BQM-34A target drone. The aircraft was flown to the museum in May 1988. |
