....come up a few feet short of the rearm pad trying to ferry one to the front lines...

I tried that once and did the same thing. 

I upped a 163, kept the gear and went slow to the next base and landed.  I ran out of fuel and coasted to maybe 3 feet short of the rearm pad....

Whats that for anyway?

     Ram Air Turbine for generating electricity.  The early Phantoms had them, but they werer removed when they figured out that the
10 minutes left on the battery without engine power would last until the aircraft augered.  Think the glide ratio was 8 plane lengths down
for every one forward.  Try tossing a brick out the cockpit and flying formation with it to simulate

My bird, "The Lead Sled". The only reason it has lift is due to thrust, take that away & falling brick... no glide ratio.

     I worked the pointy end of some E models, those engine guys were solid soot/grease from the elbows to the fingers
