Afterburners

[Nick F40]

I would like to share a video I found. First, I wonder how much fuel they used and second, this is the coolest one I have seen.

Anyone fly or see jets? just wondering, I always loved stuff like this and the jet's are just sick!

yeah, I used to live a 1/4 mile away from an ANG base with F16. In the middle of the night the whole squadron would take off in pairs or groups of 4 under full afterburnner and knock stuff off my walls and shelves.

Now I live a little further from Buckely AFB with a mix of F16 from the ANG and F-15 Strike Eagles. It was pretty interesting about a month or so ago a Fighter came over the house under full afterburner to intersept a suspicous aircraft that wasn't responding.

We get the occation visiting Bugs, Migs, Presidential Helis flying over, but Aluminum Overcast was much more awe-inspiring to see that fly over.
