The first gas turbine engine includes a first core flowpath fluidly coupled with a first inlet and a first exhaust. The first core flowpath extends sequentially through a first compressor section, a first combustor section and a first turbine section. The second gas turbine engine a second core flowpath fluidly coupled with a second inlet and a second exhaust. The second core flowpath extends sequentially through a second compressor section, a second combustor section and a second turbine section. The flow control system fluidly couples the first inlet and the first exhaust to the second core flowpath during a first mode. The flow control system fluidly couples the first inlet and the first exhaust to the second engine bypass flowpath during a second mode.
