About 5500 lbs per hour cruising without a bunch of ordinance hanging off of it.
You don't calculate fuel flow in gallons on a plane. But if you did JP-4 weighs about 6.8 LBS/Gallon so 808 gallons. You only get about 1.5 hours of flying time with internal stores.
These answers crack me up! If you have any doubt about my answer you can check out GE's official website on the J79 motors:

Keep in mind my answer was the N1 figure not Afterburning. Afterburning will dump all of our fuel in an F4 in less than 20 minutes then you become a really poor performing glider.

My day job is flying a challenger 3000 for a wealthy Florida family, and on most of our "hops across the pond," we burn around 400-500 GPH (per engine) so thats 800-1000GPH total.

Turkey is element of NATO. Turkey has the third best air rigidity in NATO. Turkey is meant to have NATO permission to retaliate. Turkey will positioned its risk-free practices first, forget approximately NATO's pacification stance, and strongly retaliate against Syria. i actually do no longer think of Turkey is annoying of everyone.

Just seen it yesterday on the History Channel (Dog Fights).
160 lbs per hour, at cruising speed.
(Military measures in pounds, instead of gallons)
