Umm, it was some nitrous. Also tried water and LOX earlier, wanted to
increase density of flow into engine ( a WW2 idea). No det's. That part of
the project worked fine. It was the ever growing expanse of a custom plane
(not the F_15) that did the project in.

I was there for the initial tests with LOX, NO2, and H2O. No drama on the
engine end.

Last time they did something like this, someone proposed hanging seven
thousand pounds of nitrous oxide and acetylene under an F-15, and got three
high-order detonations along the way.  So, hopefully a bit less excitement
than that...
