the A-6 could carry 24 500 lb bombs

32 if you took off the landing gear covers

the B-52 carried 124 I think?

The F-11 carried 74...

Never had one of our F-4s configured that way, but apparently they could be set up with a MER outboard and TER inboard on each wing, with another MER on the centerline for a total of 24. Our planes always flew with wingtanks outboard, just heard about the mondo bomber setup.

The power to get it into the air was certainly there.
