Looks like fun, but standing that close is not good for the internal organs. Also hearing damage is likely. Those ear defenders are not designed for that sort of thing................I know I have tinnitus from 21 years of spannering on jet engines :(

Wll I guess thats one way to de-ice a runway :)

What is the purpose of having them stand so close? :-?

Simply at an airshow one can feel the vibrations in your chest. Imagine it THAT close! I am so jealous!

When my step-father saw this he said "Now try to lay under it. I've done it."  ;D I'm thinking he did it with an F-86 or F-105, not a F-16.
Good find.
