So how much of a head start does a Phantom need against an Able Dog?

Navy needs prettier flag chicks, too. :wink:

heads up! The Spad has got to weigh a LOT less than the Phantom...and they are both being shot off. Isn't it even until they leave the ship?

You still have to accelerate the mass. The lighter plane will accelerate faster.
