Just a thought:

The link to the toilet paper drop bay (posted in 2012) has expired. Any happen to have the downloaded video or a current link, perhaps?

Default fun to read this old thread.... & remember

Many years ago, I attended (twice actually) an annual "community fly-in /show & shine / drag race weekend", at an undisclosed airport, in an undisclosed NW state. Big local crowds attended and was covered by local media. The finale event of the weekend was the 'bomb' drop event, The idea was that participants would pass over twice, first run at 1000ft, second run at 500ft and try to hit an old car in the mid field. The ordinance was a 10 pin bowling ball... The story was- that nobody ever hit that old car in all the years the event was held. Many tactics were employed from Stuka type approaches to slow / side slip out the door drops, of course, high wing planes were best suited to enter.
There was a Waco that participated and had a novel bomb mechanism rigged to the aft fuselage consisting of rope webbing slings which could be released individually. Was hilarious watching the old Waco taxi out from the ramp as the twin bomb load swayed like other thangs that dangle.
