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.

The whole truck gets, not only blown over, but tumbles across the tarmac and into the water. 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. Dan, U.S. Air Force, retired |
