“It takes an eternity for those big PW 4090’s to spool up and produce thrust required to initiate a go around.”

Longer than the Hogs engines?

Not sure my last was sent....Whole different story. 160KIAS +fuel on final. 159 it started to feel mushy (suggestive number?) I later read that one reason the bird seemed to be underpowered was the engine and tailpipe were not aligned. (F-84F) Big difference in TO with token or no fuel in the drops. Lower the barrier, here I come, with full load.
