Alliant's Web page http://www.atk.com/aerospace/descriptions/tactical-propulsion/maverick.htm indicates that a Maverick's rocket motor has been demonstrated to have a "15+ year" service life. And I must add that I find it very scary that the Air Force is looking for that kind of information in a freely-editable encyclopedia.... -- Sean Barrett | A child of five would understand this. sean(a)epoptic.com | Send someone to fetch a child of five. | --Groucho Marx

I get the impression that Dawn Chavez was asking this out of personal interest. But it would be prudent not to use a .mil email address for those sorts of things. I did get a bit of a laugh out of that one, though. ;-) Best, Sascha Noyes -- Please encrypt all email. Public key available from www.pantropy.net/snoyes.asc

I would say that having a personal interest in the shelf life of Maverick missiles is rather scary, too, except that many of my interests are similarly scary. Maybe Dawn and I should ... no, we probably shouldn't; my wife wouldn't understand. -- Sean Barrett | Ask not what your country can do for you, sean(a)epoptic.com | ask what your country can do to you.

It took a while to figure out that she wasn't refering to our long time member Mav, and even to understand what her possible personal attack on him was all about. Now that others better versed in such matters have explained that we are dealing with some kind of missile and not the Ford product, I think that I can safely conclude that this lady is not officer material. No wonder Sean's wife wouldn't understand! :-) Ec

Don't laugh too much, military personnel often have a terrible time getting good information. Remember the tank guy calling the SCO help line from his M1A1 in Desert Storm? Military info systems are not all rotating whizzing 3d cross sections like you see in the movies. Stan
