Was talking with another aviation enthusiast the other day who had a few disparaging things to say about P&W. So, knowing that Gary worked on the F-16 program, I thought I'd ask his opinion. Just curious. Bruce Sent from iCloud On Feb 26, 2014, at 04:33 PM, CYNAMONB@AOL.COM wrote: Planning an engine upgrade? Bruce In a message dated 2/26/2014 4:31:31 P.M.

I have years of experience with all 3 manufactures starting with the J57 that first powered the F-100. George Sent from my iPad > On Feb 26, 2014, at 4:47 PM, "L.

The guys on the other side of the office working GE, liked GE. Low altitudes, the P&W out performed the GE due to the larger inlet. GE had s maller inlets and less spillage drag at altitude making it a bit faster. I have 12 hours in an F-16 including 3 hrs in air-to-air combat. We did 9gs. I flew 8 point rolls and terrain following through the Sierras in the Isabe lla MOA at 400 AGL. It was a great experience. Gary Sent from my iPad > On Feb 26, 2014, at 11:30 AM, "L.
