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

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)

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.
