Some junior officer was REALLY good at writing the proposal for doing that. Then his buddies actually got together and got it done before the stuffed shirt grownups figured out what they had signed onto. Respect.
Seriously though, I don't understand why they thought it was a good idea. It's not like VMO or Mcrit was somehow just waived. Maybe short field performance.

I HAVE STRONG OPINIONS ABOUT AUTOMOTIVE LIGHTING!
This reminded me of the HS-121 "Trident 3B" that had three RR Spey engines plus an RB.162 "booster" engine that was used for takeoff (and maybe kept idled during approach?). The booster engine had plastic compressor blades and no oiling system beyond squirting some into the bearings at startup.
I'm sure three Speys plus a VTOL engine kept the airport neighbors angry.

9-5 Ruins Lives
Couldn't listen to that all the way through, just terrible. And why the crap was there super sad music in the background? Neat afterburner though.Did that video goober really pronounce "low bypass ratio" like "ray-dee-o"?! (@ 3:50)
He did it again @4:20, pronouncing "Piaggio" like "plah-geo"! (I don't care if this is some 'capicola' anglicization, its WRONG)

I think because the front end was filled with a big avionics bay, making it the first Cat III capable plane

Arbitrariness replaces reason with authority.
Far as I know, Dassault themselves produced that modded 50 for Iraq. The more hardpoints, the more Exocets get sold. Vive la France!In other Falcon news, the Iraqis modified a 50 with a Mirage radar and two missiles. Almost sank the USS Stark
