editI take issue with the leading statement:
"The North American AGM-28 Hound Dog was the first air-launched nuclear stand-off missile developed by the United States."
There was an earlier missile developed, although it never became fully operational and was replaced by the Hound Dog. It was the Bell ASM-A-2/B-63/GAM-63 Rascal. See for more information. Wdfarmer 03:56, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
You're absolutely right -- the word I was looking for (which I've now corrected) was "deployed," not "developed." (That, I think, is correct.) Thanks for catching that. ArgentLA 21:34, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

three different flight profiles
editThe article states "Initially, three different flight profiles for the Hound Dog were available ... :", followed by a list of four different flight profiles, two of which are identified as "Low-altitude attack". The two "Low-altitude attack" profiles sound as if they might be the same. Could someone clarify this section? Riordanmr (talk) 20:38, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
- There are three different profiles listed. The fourth entry is a separate qualifier that might be applied to any of them (so there are effectively six profiles). Andy Dingley (talk) 22:10, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

First operational Hound Dogs?
editThe article states: "In July 1960, the Hound Dog reached initial operational capability with the first B-52 unit. In November 1960, the 97th Bombardment Wing at Blytheville Air Force Base, Arkansas became the first combat wing in SAC to be equipped with the missile." 1. If it reached IOC in July 1960, how could the 97th be the first wing equipped with the Hound Dog in November. Who had it from July to November?
2. SAC Missile Chronology 1939-1988 (PDF). Offutt AFB, NE: Office of the Historian, Strategic Air Command. 1990. ISBN 978-1521159439. Retrieved January 29, 2018. page 32 says the first Hound Dog was delivered to Beale AFB on 26 August 1961 and was mated to a B-52 on 2 September (4126th Strategic Wing).
3. Just adding confusion, the Wiki article on the 301st Bombardment Squadron claims (without citation) that the squadron (4135th Strategic Wing) was the first SAC unit to equip with the Hound Dog. (It is clear that the 301st/4135th was the first SAC unit to use test models). Lineagegeek (talk) 21:28, 16 June 2025 (UTC)
