That is cool. Should have used them with an atomic bomb. just to make a statement.

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but IIRC, the F-22 is the first F/A to be outfitted with Atomic warhead capabilities...

Before that it was up to the B1 Lancer and B2 Spirit (again, IIRC).

Just about all of them will carry nukes of various kinds. Here's one that all but the F-22 can carry.

Not sure what you are asking, but fairly sure as far back as the F-84, ground attack (F/A) fighter aircraft have been nuke capable. Our Marine F-4B Phantom certainly was. There was a "Shape" kept under a tarp for training loading, but only gathered dust.

Google (gag) B-61 and aircraft certified to carry it. A lot of F/A types in there.

Ah, couldn’t you just picture Medina and Mecca being turned into a sea of glass? If we don’t do it, eventually Israel will have to.

F-111s out of Lakenheath, if those were considered F/A. I have a feeling the F-4s out of Spangdahlem were capable as well.
