J79 engine from an F-104 Starfighter on S&S Turbines test stand. We watch from behind as the afterburner lights three times. This is an engine that was created from modules taken from several engines brought to us by Starfighters.net crew chiefs Sean and Dave. We disassembled the engines, and took the best parts to make this one.
They took this engine back to Florida and put it into one of their F-104s.
Dave May is the cameraman, and it's his voice you hear.

theorically you are right , but I remember that just to start moving taxying you needed to set 83% of power. You didnt have any flight idle setting.The flight idle device is only for boring airline planes with turbofan engine very slow in speeding up so not to compromize the go around capability. This was a splendid full jet engine speeding up from idle to full A/B in a couple of second. It was a splendid engine and flying the F104 was better than screwing any woman in the world , trust me.

AgentJayZ - you are correct sir about the 17 stages...too many subsequent years on 110's 404's and 119's. Thanks for the correction

@Slipkid427 The loudness does cause a lot of brain vibration... I think mine blurs sometimes.

This a General Electric J-79-15. The J-79 Series of engine powered the B-58 Hustler, F-4 Phantom and even the Early FMS F-16's. It is a 16 Stage axial-flow Afterburning Turbo-jet, with 3 stages of Turbine. Depnding on the (-) model thrust would vary from 15,000 to 17,500 lbf/lb

@Slipkid427 Uh, thanks for that... Actually there are 17 stages of compression in all J79s, and this particular one is what's known as an OEL-7. It was license-built in Canada by Orenda to power the Canadian Starfighter, known as the CF-104.
It is currently installed in an F-104 flown by the Starfighters airshow demonstration team in Florida.
Otherwise your information is very good.
