The Gust I caught was quite fierce. Sean Morgans wrote: "sean trost" wrote in message ... wingtip vortices. all the best Sean Trost 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.
