Jorge, I seem to remember the tail feathers on the tomcat closing down when they went to full burner?
High speed flybys were always a treat. Live ordinance airshows make the precision flying shows of the Blue Angels etc. somewhat less impressive. A 2000lb bomb at 2 miles toss delivered by an A-6 leaves a lasting impression.
Watch the video. The "As" with the "Jimmy Carter" motors had to use burner on the CAT as you can see on the video opening up. The A+s and Ds with the good engines needed no burner on the CAT, just MRT and then the cans/feathers did close up
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”
