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.
