[QUOTE="James Snover, post: 16026851, member: 67454"] More Blackbird stuff, just ‘cause y’all went and got me all fired up: There were a limited number of TEB shots the Blackbird could carry. On the the throttle quadrant there was a mechanical counter that counted down the remaining shots. You needed the tetra-ethyl-boron for two conditions: starting the engines and engaging the afterburners. Imagine: you could have lots of fuel onboard, but if you are out of TEB and the engines flame out (which happened!) ... you were SOL and better be looking fir some place to set down because while large, with lots of wing, the Blackbird was heavy, even with empty tanks! She was not a good glider. Even so, on more than one occasion, she was brought in with no engines. The pilots were that good. Sent from my iPhone using svtperformance.com [/QUOTE]
