B-727 with afterburners?
Some years ago I worked for Kuwait Airways on the Jumbo.
They also had a small fleet of B-727s with some kind of afterburner installation/option.
Belive it was -17 engines.
Many 727 guys, instructors and pilots I talked to here in the US have never heard of such a thing.
The 72s were sold to Syria after the Gulf War.
Does anybody out there have more information on the afterburner subject?
Was it automatic power boost in case of eng. failure?
Extra chambers in the tail pipe?
Did Boeing offer them, or after mod from Pratt?
Or what???
