(1/1)

Sludge,

Not sure if this is a big help ... on take off from MCAS Beaufort (KNBC), rwy 23 (12,000') at the departure end, the F-18 is 275 KIAS, 10 degree climb. Mil power take off.

SpazSinbad:
Wheels UP!   ;D  Is that with only full internal fuel and nothing hanging off?

average_joe:
Good point ... two full external drop tanks. Nothing else external. Assume full internal fuel. (saw them in the hot refueling pits for 10 min ... that equals a full bag)

Sludge:
Ave Joe...

Thanks for the numbers, will try them out and see what I come up with.  Cant promise much, since Im pretty close to the limit of my tweaking abilities w/the Hornet, but will get them a try.

Sludge:
Actually, now that Im back, will put those numbers thru a flight test with the Sludge.
