Ouch, that'll put sand in places that shouldn't have any sand.

We have the same effect on our beaches, but environmentalists say it's due to flatulence.

I've never been around a 747 when it takes off, but it looks like it's doctored. The wash looks a little big to be real.

Those engines put out tens of thousands of pounds of thrust. Ever seen the video of a taxi cab getting blown off the runway by a 767?

I've seen cars and trucks get their paint job all flucked up with the old high performance M1 Abrams engine!  ;D

Oooops, we thought we told everyone not to park their cars and trucks by the motorpool.  ;D

Nope. I've been behind a couple of -130's on the runway, but that's about it.

That I HAVE seen... they can damn near melt the paint right off!

When I win the lottery, remind me to buy a used 747 and taxi around Halliburton Corp. HQ!  ;)
