-Kensworth AFB-

A B-95 from the 227th bomber wing lifts off from a runway at Kensworth Air Force Base. Inside it's 4 bomb bays were 16 drop pods, which is about as many as could be fit inside. It proceeds to a bombing range, and makes a low altitude Mach 1.4 approach. It drops four drop pods, which crash to the ground still horizontal and partly dented. The aircraft then climbs out and accelerates to Mach 3, and performs a drop at high altitude. Six more pods are dropped, which all have time to re-orient themselves to an upright position and fire their braking thrusters. The bomber then comes around and drops all but two of the remaining pods, and returns to base. The remaining pods are kept to see how long it takes to remove them from the bay if the mission was aborted. Overall the test was considered a success.
