An aug igniter is a igniter plug (similar to a spark plug) in the augmentor sectiion(which people tend to call it the afterbuner burner). The igniter reignites the heated gas mixed in with more fuel to cause the flame you see.
Nice video. I was an F-15 crew chief and although I was never run certified, I worked on a D-Model so I was able to sit in the backseat during engine tests on occasion.
Naw, I am not a engineer. I am a jet engine technician of 9 years. I would say I am lucky, but I love my job. I am currently working B-1's now. 1 year total so far. Doing engine runs on that is awsome too. I want to get an areonautical engineering degree but trying to do that and military at the same time is difficult.
Getting a degree in the military is hard because of the time constraints. I worked on the flight line for about 10-12 hours per day. That plus having to take more time than normal 18-24 year old people to clean clothes, polish boots, iron, etc. that we do in the military makes taking college classes next to impossible.
@mbraase hell yeah man im right there with ya crew chief on f-16s and there are some long days, 10-12 hr days are normal it sucks but i dunno if id rather be anywhere else in the military the flight line is where its at, I mean who else gets to play with fighter jets??

That must be one strong cable, seeing as the F-16 can put out about 22,000 lbs. of thrust.

LOL - trying to get any degree while in the military is difficult. Just wait until your service is done and then get your degree with the GI Bill
