Reheat
I was asked about reheat and, since I've never flown FJ, couldn't answer.
(Water-meth injection in the Argosy RR Dart doesn't really count )
Can anyone please help?

Q about reheat from Ships Nostalgia PM:
Do you, in the a/c, hear that same incredible noise (as an external ground observer hears) or do you just 'feel' the 'engagement'?

Reheat
Noise, not really, but you feel a massive shove in the back if you're low(ish), slow(ish) and unloaded (low alpha). If you're in a hard turn ie combat or a climb, the feeling is a little less. At high level, similarly reduced as you tend to be at much higher Mach. Hope that helps. TTH.

Not much noise, unless it broke - then we'd get quite cross and shouty.

Water Meth injection in the Dart may or may not count...
But accidental Water Meth instead of Demin Water into the Spey probably does - at least for the few seconds that the turbine survives :-)
