[QUOTE="andrsnsm, post: 1456422, member: 10240"] When we (I work for P&W) were still running J58 engines on our test cells in Florida I would sometimes go watch, awesome at night since the entire engine glows. Once stood between test cells running a J58 at full afterburner and a cell running a F100-PW-229 at full afterburner. The noise and sensation throughout my body was unbelievable. The story about the fuel leaks is true except that it was the airframe holding the fuel, not the engines. At altitude the titanium skin would expand and seal the leaks. [/QUOTE]
