And it puts out in Mil what a T-38 puts out in Max... 5800 lbs of thrust. it only weights around 9400 lbs with 2 pilots, full wings and tips.

Didn’t the A-37 replace the motors with 38 engines back in the day? I thought I heard a story that they would loiter with an engine shut down and start the second when they started maneuvering. Valid?
August 28, 20223 yr Author The engines are J-85-13, whereas the T-38 are J-85-5s. The -13's put out more thrust. And yes, you get to cruise and shut one down. Max of 30 minutes for oil issues. Everything I know about that in the operational real-world I learned second hand. Springer would be the one to talk to this, since I've never cruised long enough to worry about shutting down an engine for range. Initial takeofff at sea level, you will see 170 KIAS and 40 deg nose high on your departure. Edited August 28, 20223 yr by HuggyU2

I thought I heard a story that they would loiter with an engine shut down and start the second when they started maneuvering. Valid? They were built from the ground up with J-85's although I believe the prototype (YAT-37D) was a T-37 with J-85's replacing the original J-69 engines. Note the screen below the intake. It would come up on engine start to protect the engine from FOD and retract on TO. Yes, one engine could be shut down when loitering. Configured (normal) as it is in the photo, it carried more external fuel than it did internally. Huggy is a very lucky guy as the plane is fun to fly and has no bad flt characteristics.

Lol Come on guys I am older than most of you; lets get it right: Throttles – Idle Rudder and Ailerons – Neutral Stick – Abruptly full aft and hold Rudder – Abruptly apply full rudder opposite spin direction (opposite turn needle) and hold Stick – Abruptly full forward one turn after applying rudder Controls – Neutral after spinning stops and recover from dive
September 3, 20223 yr I wonder if kids these days all wear blues if one guy fucks up the boldface. That was a pretty effective way to get people to learn it quickly!

I was more worried about being told to "have a seat" vs "sit down" than wearing blues. But it did suck wearing blues lol.

One of my biggest fears since returnng to GA is a pattern mid air so I played it safe and held. Then this at Reno. My heart goes out to their families and those that witness it.
