In reality, the 6 props and 4 jets were just so that the engineers onboard could say "6 turnin' and 4 burnin" The jets also helped with increasing the fuel consumption, the exhaust smoke output and overall coolness. No other reason for it apparently........ ![]() Seriously, the jet engines helped with both extra speed, loadout and altitude capabilities. -- Jeff Cochrane - VK4BOF Innisfail, QLD, Australia |
