Louis,
Without you FE's mastering them big engines nothing would have happened. You guys were miracle workers. Like playing an organ on take off. I have the greatest respect for your profession.

One time at Eilson, we took of at -56 deg F. Our FE briefed us not to be frightened by the throttle positions. It seemed like 1/2 throttle when we reached max power.
