Re: Warbird pictures
Here's another F-111 image. Always like this. The RAAF call this the dump & burn.

[/ QUOTE ] Steve, they call this "flicking their Bic" (remember Bic disposable lighters?) and USAF crews used to do it for us during night air refuelings (I flew KC-135s). It lights up the entire sky when done at night. They open the fuel dump valve and light the afterburners and WHOOOM!

Re: Warbird pictures
I'd guess that the 111 is doing about 450-500 knots. The F-111 is a giant sled and it's favorite configuration is 500+ on the deck. Those Aussie guys are nuts down under and stuff like this is strictly routine at their airshows.
