[Looked like a very tight corner where 2.23-2.3 was possible.]
Thanks. That’s about what I figured. You’re looking at 17k out of the J-79 x 2.
The F-4 was a very large aircraft. It was hard to appreciate just how so until standing next to it.
Around 1970-1971, I was on my minibike when one of the Blue Angels went over about 50 feet off the ground, about 30-50 feet in front of me. It was a sight to see.

IOW 34k - unloaded a/c some say 24,000 - so, clean....
I had to look at the length again - 63 feet - that thing was HUGE
I thought the F-14 looked longer but they say 63 feet (62’ 8”)
