After my A-10 was hit over Baghdad it never flew again. But it got me home, 323 miles with complete hydraulic failure. Maintenance gave me the tail flash & control stick. They didn’t have to but they understood what 987 meant to me. It saved my life. Where are those pieces now?⬇️

The development of the J79 turbojet began in 1952 as a more powerful follow-up to the General Electric J47 turbojet. The engine generated a maximum of 17,000 pounds of thrust (-15 version) with the afterburner operating.
