technical question from The Movie
Maverick is sitting in the TACTS trailer getting his ass kicked for
performing a split S when he should have been thinking about how to save his $40 million dollar airplane. Viper says if he selected zone 5 he could extend his escape. What does zone 5 mean ? Always wondered about this. |

... What does zone 5 mean ? Always wondered about this. The Pratt & ****ney TF-30 engine in the F-14A has an afterburner with five "zones". Selecting zone 5 means going to full power. __!_!__ Gizmo |

Always wondered about this BRBR The TF-30 A/B in the F-14 staged in zones, that you could actually feel. Zone 1 thru 5, Zone 5 was left levers all the way forward, max A/B- P. C.
