My Tomcat (in full afterburner-Zone 5) burned 2,000 pounds a minute...but 
only carried 16,000 pounds (internally, without external tanks).  That would 
be 8 minutes full bag to empty...but you'd be screaming (or overcook the 
turbines)!

I was at the museum of flight yesterday in Seattle......They are trying to 
buy one of the shuttles to add to their collection. They had a short 
film.......the shuttle uses 1,000 pounds of fuel per second!
