Page 1-58: "The airplane is powered by two General Electric J79 engines. Aircraft 153071z thru 153087aa have J79-GE-8 engines installed, with a thrust rating of 10,900 pounds each. Afterburner operation increases the maximum thrust to 17,000 pounds. Aircraft 153088aa and up have J79-GE-10 engines installed, with a thrust rating of 11,870 pounds each. Afterburner operation increases the maximum thrust to 17,900 pounds each." Seems strange that the -10 has only 2,000 more pounds thrust w/o burner and only 900 pounds more with burner. I know that each aircraft has two engines so that comes out to an additional 4,000 pounds thrust w/o burner. Does that sound right?
