They'll never make it. If that's one of the design parameters (trap
with full fuel and weapons load (16,000 pounds of fuel and 17,000
pounds of ordnance on an airframe with a 24,000 pound dry weight),

It's not, since a full fuel load precludes a full weapons load. The
plane tops out at about 50,000 pounds.

With partial weapons and full fuel, it's quite doable.
