Honest John Rocket Blast off.

Germany

I will say that watching an Honest John rocket being launched was an impressive sight and sound.
Note the spin rockets near the warhead. These put a spin on the Rocket much the same as rifle grooves do. The spin makes it more accurate. The Honest John was capable of using either High Exposive warheads or Nukes. This firing was with a H.E. warhead. Duh.:)
