A US Air Force F-4 Phantom jet streaks across the sky. Titles: USAF Audio/Visual presentation - Conventional Weapons Delivery (Bombs) (:08-1:08). An instructor talks to his cadets about Conventional Weapons Delivery. Animation of a F-4 Phantom. The lines that have a bearing on dropping ordnance are the Fuselage Reference Line and the Zero Sight Line. Next is the Launcher line, then the Radar Bore Line. These lines are explained.The angle of attack is explained. Sight setting or total depression are shown and explained. Animation of dive bombing and this is explained in detail. Release Aim Point aka RAP - with wind and without wind is explained and shown in animation (1:09-4:49). Rap target is shown and explained as is release aim point extension. A release at certain feet and angle of 30 degrees is shown in animation and explained. A release at certain feet and angle of 45 degrees is shown in animation and explained. Pickle time, which is releasing the bombs, is explained. G load at an angle of 30 or 45 degrees is explained (4:50-7:50). A teacher's assistant holds a model of an F-4 Phantom on a stick to demonstrate its flying in a few different positions and situations. Animation from the pov of the cockpit. More model footage of the plane moving around. The students look at the instructor as he moves a model plane around. The model is on a stick again being demonstrated (7:51-11:12). RAP and RAPE is explained with wind again in a different scenario. The assistant holds the model plane on a stick and maneuvers it. He shows it follow a trajectory. Another instructor teaches as students sit around a table listening. Students write things down and pay rapt attention. The teacher points at a diagram on the board (11:13-14:35). To avoid a mid-air collision between two planes is a scenario given by the instructor. 30, 45 degree dives and a 10 degree low are next discussed as this is what the students will be doing this day. They get into the mathematic side of things and this is on the board (14:36-16:34). Teacher continues to discuss to the students. 45 degree dive is shown on a blackboard with chalk. Aim off point to the target is discussed. No wind situation at this angle is explained. It is shown and explained in detail (16:35-20:07). F-4 Phantoms take off in tandem down the runway.

Jet #4 veers to its left. Test of dropping a bomb is shown via a screen in the cockpit and he really drops one in the test zone. Jet practices going in a low angle drop arose the drop zone. Air traffic controller looks up from his position. Close on a jet in the air. Low angle drop for the next jet. Test of dropping a bomb is shown via a screen in the cockpit (24:09-28:16).
