I even have a PDF copy of the F-84G Flight Manual (1954) in Yugoslavian. I don't even know why I need it, but I have it.

I've been fortunate to have seen a few Lansens over the years: they are a handsome machine! (though not so much from this angle)

Oh so many questions to this one?

I'm not an engineer much less an aeronautical engineer but could a F-80 even get up to speed enough to start ram jets?

They look like they are on backwards, little end front and big end aft. That seems to be backwards to my mind.
But it's be noted the my mind is a bit off in its self.

They look like the pulse jets found on the V-1.

They look like the pulse jets found on the V-1.

But backwards. Pulse jet intake is larger than the exhaust.
