Re the 'Rutowski' climb path. We got the word from Eglin AFB around
1965 and used it in the 104A with the old J79-3b engine. It worked nicely but had to be flown precisely to avoid wasting fuel. When we got the J79-19 it was such a thrust improvement (17900 vice 13850) we didn't bother. One nifty climb profile was to accelerate to 600 KIAS at say 1000 AGL after T/O (height optional as long as you didn't get caught) about a mile or so off the end of the runway and then maintain 600 to crossover to M2.0. Made for quick intercepts and was quite exhilirating! This was a real case of a new engine (F4E/S)in an old (1956) airframe. Walt BJ
