Well I can tell you this, I believe that had I been about 50 meters
north of where I was I would most likely be tumbled like billy bob. The
Gust I caught was quite fierce.

So are you saying you enjoyed it? g

I always wondered how much they would push a person around.

Did you see the movie, "Pushing Tin"? The person in that, relieves some
stress (or something) by standing right at the end of a runway while heavies
are landing. It shows him getting the sh*t knocked out of him, resulting in
several cartwheels. I wonder how true that is.

Have you ever seen that training film on jet blast?
As I recall there is a (looks like a 707) would up with brakes locked,
or tied down. A truck drives by maybe 10 to 150 feet behind it. The
whole truck gets, not only blown over, but tumbles across the tarmac
and into the water.

It's a WMV file and I think I have a copy of it around here some
where.
