...en laagvliegende Polen op#4: No Fuel dumping with afterburner operating or with speed brakes extended
Remember in the summer when you were a kid and would take the OFF bug spray can and hold it up to a lit match? The resulting flame spray was pretty awesome, right?
Imagine if you dumped raw fuel at then end of an engine with 23,000lbs of thrust. Now that would be a sight to behold. Fuel dumping while in afterburner would be exactly that, the greatest spray of flame known to mankind.
(Tyler adds: This is the “dump and burn” maneuver that the F-111 was so well known for. The F-14's fuel dump was placed between its engines like on the F-111, although the Tomcat’s wide “tunnel” between its engines set them much farther apart.)
