It's heavily cropped but makes a nice image

The commentator at the Richmond Airshow put the fuel consumption of this
action into laymen's terms when he said this was the equivalent of X
number of beer cartons being consumed per second.

Sorry, I can't recall the exact number. But I guess a few second worth
would keep you in beer for some time!

BTW Thanks for the great shots Glenn! there all much better that my own.
Although you can't expect to much from the 3 x zoom on my Canon

I recall the old RAAF Mirage simulator (analog and ancient by todays
standards), it used to give a click for every imperial gallon of fuel
consumed (4.5L). At cruise it clicked at a rate of roughly one gallon per
second. On after burner it sped up enormously. Now that was a single engine
jet, now a big Pig with two (albeit modern) engines doing a dump and burn
must be literally roaring through the fuel.
