The first (R)IAT without any turbojets

[Wissam24]

Here's a thought exercise that just occurred to me. When would the first - if ever - IAT be that featured no turbojets at all, just turbofans (and other engine options) of some description - up to you whether you include attending classic jets or not? Has there ever even been one?

I suppose you'd have to narrow it down to years that B-52s never attended, which are few.

B-52Hs have turbofans? We haven't had a G since about 1992ish.

With aircraft like Jet Provosts and MB339s attending almost annually, probably never happened.

Don't worry only 27 minutes to go.

Shows what I know, huh.

But if you discount classic jets (JPs) and just restrict to aircraft in service.

The bypass ratio of power plants is certainly a novel topic of conversation with respect to RIAT participation!

I can't think of any occasions where this has happened.

I think this thread proves that time is dragging for Sam as much as for me, and most of us proabably. I feel like all the clocks in the house are going at half speed. It seems a shame to wish my life away, but roll on next week.!

For what its worth Sam, I don't think we've had turbojet-less RIAT yet, no.
