Unfortunately, we were not at all impressed -
its T/O performance was marginal. W


A friend of mine who was flying Fords at the time told me about the time he was
in the hold short and a Cutlass was cleared for takoff. The guy pulled onto the
runway and lit both burners while sitting still with the brakes locked and it
didn't slide from the excess Thrust.
How much different our story would be if the engines were providing the
specified thrust instead of the ultimate DOG!
