The image in this article doesn't exactly show an afterburner, but rather the exhaust nozzle. Perhaps a more illustrative image demonstrating an afterburner in action, such as this one http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/aircraft/images/f-14-Carrier-Launch2.jpg could be used instead?

added pics

The first image on the page shows the SR-71 without an afterburner. For an article about afterburners, wouldn't it be more logical for the first image to show a plane with an afterburner? --Scottie theNerd 08:35, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Could someone indicate what the increase in thrust might be when adding the afterburner?

[edit] Diamonds

Could somebody knowledgeable add a section on why you get diamonds in an afterburner exhaust? Cheers, miterdale 11:35, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Air Combat Link

The link to Air Combat leads to a redirect to a computer game. Presumably there is some better link?

[edit] Confusing

This is a well written article, but, I do not know much about aircraft (probably why I am looking at articles like this one), and this page is almost impossible for me to fully understand without doing a whole lot of background research first. I don't have a clue as to what some of the words in this article mean, so could someone please dumn it down a bit, for people who don't know much about aircraft. Thanks!
