Pre Merge Burners
Having worked with the USAF since 80 up untill 05 I remember that it was always a call from our American friends to call burner prior to the merge. Now with the Argentine AF/Navy being trained/influenced by USN/USAF then such a practice would obviously be carried over.
As for Fuel conservation the Dagger/Mirage was not AAR capable and so would therefore be at its "Combat" limits over the Falklands. So maybe "Burner" was not a luxury they could afford pre merge, especially if it was needed during the fight or to exit the fight.
