Found this in my dad's stuff.

Amazing that passing around nukes used to be so informal.

I wonder if it is still good?

I hope you're referring to the receipt and not the nuke :-P

[Supplanter]

Is this it? The receipt says "B5-3" but the wiki says B53 and since we know wiki can't be wrong p-)

Posasibly this which seems to match the 1957 date better.

And appears to have -1, -2, -3 designations.

Prolly the Mk5, since he worked on B-45s.

Yes, if you take it to the nearest USAF base they should release the weapon to you.

[Slouch]

Isn't it the other way around? If you take that to the nearest base, won't they want the weapon back off you?

[wild_wild_wes]

Thanks Slouch! That would have been embarassing. Nukes are hard to come by these days, and I'd hate to have to give them one of mine if they demanded I redeem the receipt.

[Steelersfan413]

What's the return policy if it was already used?

[wild_wild_wes]

Used? When? On what? Ahh...OPSEC, I get it. Say no more.

Hey, check-out the high-tech spring dampners on the bomb cart. Those were bold men, back in those days....

[Steelersfan413]

I was joking. Like, some places won't take returns if the item was used. This is a bit different...

[tyovan]

An A1C signing for a nuclear weapon??
AF must have been a lot less top-heavy back then, haha

[Hispeed1]

Don't forget the re-stocking fee.
