I was flying a T-38, and taxied/took off behind an F-111D at Cannon AFB. The trust of that aircraft was impressive. It shook my T-38 like it was made of balsa wood.
Thanks! I believe the F111 was TF-30 powered as well as the F-14. For the life of me, I don’t know why Pratt never pursued a follow on or upgrade ( FADEC ) to the TF-30, some say the F-100 would have been to wimpy for the carrier landing punishment. A more robust F-100 might have been the ticket. I am reading the article now. It is interesting how the “B” did pave the way for the F-14. The Navy wanted redundancy aka 2 engines, 2 tails and tandem seating. The overall config’s are pretty close, at that point Grumman knew what not to do to keep the Navy happy.
