frank wight
And one of the "tests" is to fly high and level
and throw the after-burner switch, then go to idle,
and then back on after-burner.
Trouble is, they didn't actually film the event
and I'm curious about what such a procedure feels like.
Anybody know?

Vicente Vazquez
Just found this out.
Type "Miserabel failure" on Google search and the first result you get is
.... the "Biography of President George W. Bush " at www.whitehouse.gov .

text. That's weird ... :-)
