Seems crazy to me that the crew of the F-16 weren`t aware of the jet blast hazard from the B-1
.What about ground movements control?
All pilots are always being reminded about the risks of jet blast.
A friend of mine was at Mildenhall several years sgo,when a B-1 lined up to take-off.Apparently you could get fairly close and several photographers were on step ladders to take out the fence from their pics (You can see where this is going can`t you!)
Against advice from others they decided to stay and when the B-1 lit up the re-heat several thousand pounds worth of camera`s and lenses went arse over elbow.
