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 :(

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

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.

Don't be, the vibrations can cause internal organ damage :o
