Roger that. Not familiar with that aircraft. I was a dogface. The concept of piston and jet on the same craft is new to me. Now JATO boost on an already jet plane, but not piston and turbine. The company I worked for 13 years 1968-81 had a Gulfstream I. It had 2 Rolls Royce turbines swinging big four-bladed props. They were so powerful, on takeoff rotation our company pilot, a former WWII B-17 pilot, could take it up almost vertical. Blessings.
