The aircraft had two seperate fule systems for each engine type.

Some carried a Lockheed Goblin in tests or F-84 as a "parasite fighter" during the Korean War.

pussher props also had another problem
like with jets they had a higher stalling speed cos the prop pushes air over the wing faster than the air speed with a jet or pusher prop that doesnt happen
