Quote from gums:
Later jets had an auto throttle system ( Hornet), and I am not sure of the implementation. Most Nasal radiators and some of us in the SLUF and Viper flew AoA on approach and cross checked the speed to make sure we had the correct configuration.
"Nasal radiators"? LOL!
So the A-7 Corsair was nicknamed SLUF? We have a civil a/c - very much not FBW - that used to be called FLUF, until they really stretched it and put weird bananas on the wingtips. (Also referred to as the "crab")
OG,
Something about "....where angels fear to tread"...?
