When I was in the USAF, I was a mechanic on the F-4 Phantom. The afterburners were always used together on take-off. The only reason for it not to be lit is an AB no light. I saw it so many times, we used to take bets on how many acft could get off the ground in a days flying without one failing.

ah yes, the work of unpreparedness. i heard these jets weren't originally supposed to be used for fighting. am i wrong? also, can the F-86 outmaneuver an F-4?

How does that relate to the topic about Mig-17 after-burner?
