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.

I used to do engine runs on C-130s. Late at night the SPs would get careless
and drive 20 or 30 feet in front of us. It is truly amazing what max reverse on
all four can do to a cop car especially when the poor guy in the car is not
paying attention.
