A pretty standard airshow move in the RA-5. The F-14 could also perform

the
deed, but it was discouraged by NATOPS. IIRC, JP's flame rate is 260

knots.
Theoretically, at speeds faster, your torch cannot catch up with you. I
know of no aircraft lost to the trick.

I worked on CF-104's and CF-101B Voodoos and never heard of this being
done. Is this a recent trick or did pilots not attempt this near their home
bases where they could be easily identified? ;-)
