F-111 dump and burn
I blogged the other day about an Australian F-111 taking pelican damage. While discussing the F-111 in the comment section with Schooly, I remembered seeing an Australian F-111 do a flyover on Guam where the aircrew dumped fuel out the aft end and then ignited it with the afterburners. Schooly mentioned that this is referred to as a “dump and burn”.
I found this video on YouTube of a Australian F-111 doing a “dump and burn” at an air show at the Amberly airshow. Check it out.

That must be awesome to see in person. I’ll bet it’s even better at night!
