Boy, that brings back memories. I got to sit in the back seat once
during a full burner run. Had a problem with the intercom at speed and
altitude. Ended up not being an intercom problem, but a UHF problem.
Still, it was a thrill to be there. THe thing I remember the most is
the bird rocking back and forth.

Glad it helps , my memories of engine runups are not nearly as exotic.
sitting on C-119s and C-124s when they did magchecks at the end of the
runway, bouncing in the seat watching the wings flap.

and once on a 757 when they did a full power run on one engine.
Scared the crap out of the wife, she wanted off that plane.

But glad to contribute...
Heres another from the slides, looks like it was shot the same
night.
