• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

F-100 engine trim

gray eagle

SOH-CM-2025
F100F Super Sabre , Engine trim check of the Pratt & Whitney
J57-P-21A . The trim check was made with the tail section
removed , for better ground run cooling and allowing leak inspection
of afterburner fuel pluming.

The F-8 Crusader had essentially the same engine. I don't hear a boom noise when the AB kicks in.

 
there's a pretty pronounced "thump" when AB goes off. the low frequency sonics are probably not captured very well by the audio recording.
