Hi mate and thanks for good reply. So the "afterburners" were really thrust boost then,
not extra fuel being pumped into tailpipe as in real afterburners?

Been wondering about that...

Perhaps I met ya over there? I served my dues from 1992 to 1994, F/O on 747 fleet.
Then escaped to the US for a real job as it turned out KIA had no plans of upgrading F/Os
and we were just warm bodies in the right seat. Also pretty dull place Kuwait City. Happines was smugling a bottle in, then we had a party, otherwiselots of sand or shopping or just watching the leaves on the trees.
No exit visa to go to LHR or DBX on days off.
Strange place.

Roger on the ape issue.
Yes, I'm with you, definetly no teeth, them things can bite pretty hard, and uh....ouch.

Fed-Ex been good to ya? How many years?
