| When I was in A&P school we had a J-35 on an engine stand we used to run in the school parking lot. If you advanced the throttle too quickly you could make the compressor stall and it would shoot a fire ball out of the exhaust and sometimes blow one out of the intake - it was fun watching the faces of people walking by and seeing this happen!
