Due to the engine angle, there was a not insignificant pitch down effect when plugging in full afterburner.
Very visible when flying someone's wing and then accelerating away.
Concur with Rhino Power's analysis. We were constantly monitoring the stabilators for loose fasteners from the acoustic vibration.
The compressor section of the engine had to travel a considerable distance forward over the wing structure during installation. The front end of each engine was supported at the 12 o'clock position by a roller skate mount that rode in a permanently installed track since there was no way to support that end of the engine otherwise. After unusually violent events, you would occasionally find that the front end of an engine had broken free and settled.
