F111 fuel dump and burn

[mrstickers2]

nek minute ... crashes and burns

[kinsley2108]

Here comes the worlds largest zippo lighter, lol.

[Kurio71]

NZ Air Force F-111?

[127simy]

@Kurio71 Nope, RAAF F-111 prior to their retirement. The RNZAF never operated the F-111 and indeed currently do not operate any combat aircraft.

[Synris13]

IT'S SCARY!

[outofideas101]

I would think it would not be very hard to make an f 18 to be able to do a dump and burn. all planes can dump fuel, it is just that the f 111 have an elotronic ignighter at the back of the plane.

[xero993]

@outofideas101 The F-111 does not have a fuel dump ignition system, it is simply the fact that the dump nozzle is positioned between the nozzles that causes the fuel to ignite (the hot gases from the engines and flames from the afterburners ignite the fuel as it spreads out behind the aircraft.)

[outofideas101]

@xero993 Thats totally different from what an f 111 pilot told me at an airshow.

[slickstrings]

@outofideas101 Not correct. if you ever had the honour of getting up and personal with one of these things, the f111 had a MASSIVE dump valve right between the engine nozzles. The fuel dumps at a rate of a 44 gal drum a sec and can be ignited by the afterburner flame. It was discovered quite by accident. The F18 however has the dump outlets at the top of the tailfins. If you look closely, you can see a small rectangular outlet. So there wont be any burn there.

[thelostrenegade]

A AIM-9 Sidewinder would be fu..ing excited to see that fireball

[taofledermaus]

This makes Al Gore weep.... :)

[scarface8999]

@taofledermaus

I got a tire fire out back that will make him kill himself.

[Trendywun]

Sleep tight F111's last flying as of this year

[krashdown102]

the stupid F-18 cannot do that!

[JATO457]

@krashdown102 uh yeah it can, by dumping out the back with a modified one that is meant for airshows and dump and burns, and igniting it with the afterburner

[EAFSQ9]

Lol. Quote" Get your marshmellows out".

Damn, the last time they did this in QLD was at Riverfire 2009. Too bad it was the last as well.

[joee75]

@EAFSQ9 ..they are doing 2010 as well, that will be their last...maybe accompanied by the f18

[bushranger51]

Come on you Yanks, just ask an Aussie how things are done! If you're gonna break 'em or burn 'em let us Aussies show you how it's done properly. Not bad for a plane that shoulda been scrapped twenty years ago.

[shitmypants119]

@bushranger51 okay... how are things done?

[chillmike]

@bushranger51 The RAAF have done a wonderful job with the beloved F-111. Being able to pick and choose what upgrades and sustainment blocks to install on their jets has led them to basically having a super Aardvark. Such an awesome plane that here in the US had it's role taken away by the Eagle and the Bone.

[TuAFFalcon]

Ye baby.

[SteppLee]

haha i want that zippo lighter xD

[NissanDrifter127]

lol

[FelchBelcher]

anarchyXI has NO IDEA what a "polluting plane" actually is.

[alek100]

does anyone have a spare heat seeking missile handy

.

[fetymann]

marshmallows? screw that mate! I want shrimp on the barbie!

[vrednie]

I'm not surprised that an american cant tell the difference between an australian accent (assuming that accounts for the Horrendus "shrimp on the barbie" jibe) and a NEW ZEALAND accent. Wanaka is in new zealand my friend. And obviously, you guys havent forgotten Paul Hogan's comment from 1000 years ago. I mean, come on-Get some new material. We eat PRAWNS, not Shrimp hahahhahahaha

[klesmer]

Dude, I don't think you lot can tell the difference. I'm pretty good at picking up accents but I can't tell a Kiwi from an Aussie. South African is the one that screws up most of us Yanks. It sounds Aussie,Kiwi,Brit and Yank all at the same time. And I do like prawns. Shit, I forgot Tazmania. 'Nother time.

[critter63boy]

Haha just ask us to say Fish and chips!

[klesmer]

Good one Mate!

[anarchyXI]

You absolutly don't want to know how many gallons of Kerosene this thing can burn per minute. This has to be one of the most polluting plane to ever be designed.

[calisaetia]

is there not trees for you to hug somewhere?

[spoonkyz]

lol..."get your marshmallows out", lovin the corny commentary =]

[Dafalcon01]

been there done that..brilliant plane

cant wait to go up in it gen

[Pauln2008]

i ment the worlds biggest zippo joke

[Pauln2008]

and here comes the worlds corniest joke

[Legendary588]

what are you talking about?

the F-111 dumps it fuel in the aft and it ignites for an afterburner (kinda)

[SpecialTBK]

Ahhhh the good ole 'pig' Love the 'pig'! Awesum strike force bomber! Dump and burn is very cool- not necessarily burn to disband fuel, but I am sure when flying at low altitude it serves a great purpose! I suppose you could use it in a dogfight too!

[LaRoza77]

I highly doubt an F-111 would be in a dog fight and that an enemy plane would be that close.

[xero993]

It was originally designed as a bomber with fighter capabilities but against today's 4.5 & 5th gen aircraft it'd be useless XD

My AAFC squad the 111st will be getting an F-111 to do a dump and burn at our induction march. Not so surprisingly our CO's badge will have the F-111 on it too.

[fuscian]

My dad took me up.

[USAFThunderBirdsFtw]

f111 aardvark?

[futuremavrick]

ya f111 earth pig whahahaha

Well that is if you translate it from my language into english

[grunt182820]

warthog me thinks

[zxXTiestoXxz]

lmfao "worlds largest zippo lighter!

[trechan]

lol oh and GO RAAF!

[zxXTiestoXxz]

royal australia air force

[ALI1247]

lolz... "here comes the worlds biggest zippo lighter"

imagine doing this with a MIG-25 foxbat

[zxXTiestoXxz]

LOL

[bhoogren]

Dump and burns are for emergency landings, overweight landings and airshows.

They didn't do this for drunken ha-ha's and tee-hees.

[Hoobee26]

They don't light the fuel during emergencies. It's only for show.

[vcMalice]

yes they do light them in emergencies such as a landing right after take-off when the aircraft must me light enough to land.

[Hoobee26]

I worked on F111s for 10 years and never once saw or heard of one doing a dump and burn in an emergency. Like any other jet they will just dump fuel, usually over the ocean if they can. The last thing aircrew want to have to think about in an emergency is a 100foot flame behind their jet.

[DBLCC]

@Hoobee26 I was in 474TFW 429TFS OMS and we had one of our F-111A model declare inflight emergency and dump fuel over populated area and lit it up to avoid fuel hitting ground at the low altitude they were flying. It was probably 75 or 76 when they were still at Nellis. It was at night and the base commander recieved lots of calls on it (so we heard). Scared lots of folks.

[russradicans]

shame it cant be used to grill some hajis!

[MattDamon1070]

I got this from an F-111 pilot. It costs $600,000AUD to fly these beasts for 1 hour

[MattDamon1070]

You know the F-111 burns 15,000 liters on fuel in 1 hour of aerobatic flying and burns the same amont in 15 seconds in a dump and burn!

[bentpreacher]

You Tree-hugging pretentious freaks drive me CRAZY! If you look up here on youtube "F-111 Belly landing", you will see the same JET! His Landing gear FAILED. You dump,burn your reserves so you don't die!!!!! He made a perfect landing with no gear. If he crashed, the environmental damage would be FAR worse. He should receive a freakin' medal! He could have bailed like a hippy coward, but he rode that broken bird all the way down. Quit wakin to your AL Gore pictures and STFU!!!!!

[naldwell]

Sorry dude, this was an airshow. The plane took off from Christchurch airport, flew around over Wanaka for the show, then flew back to Christchurch. No belly landing, the dump and burn was all for the show.

[OffShorePilot1]

@bentpreacher  Couldn't of said it any better ^5.

[jason74ftchip]

just a wast of fuel......

[cartman204]

But what a way to use it!

[Ronald0709]

ahah just think of what could happen if the flame got sucked into the fuel tank.

[Daimo988]

@Ronald0709 clearly uve never heard of a flashback arrestor, but no of course theyd just just leave it to chance.......

[Ronald0709]

@Daimo988 actually no i havent, how does it work?

[0815tobey]

Yeah, that will help to avoid the Global warming.

We cant even avoid that... the world is burning about 10 Billions of liters of oil EVERY DAY!

This here is just a fart in the wind !

[roystonvasey56]

then watch vids on grass growing. life's too short to wind yourself up about it

[dafcnz]

so that gives us the right to destroy everything for future generations, right?

you should be shot, life's short anyways, why live it through? we might save some resources with less fking hillbillies like you on earth.

[skilldxxxxonexx]

just fuck off!!!

[joee75]

@iconry ..yeah and when you turn on your lights, drive your car, flush a turd into the ocean, drink bottled water, light a BBQ..you think that is respecting nature..we all are all the same so pull your head in and toast some marshmallows!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!

[bobsac555]

Where abouts was this?

[naldwell]

Wanaka, New Zealand.

[bobsac555]

Thanks =]

[cysco69]

what the?mashmellow your head

[leow626569]

ah yes that airshow lol i fergot to take my mashmelows =(

[vuetube]

Cool that they burn instead of just dump like commercial airlines!

[kurtzy04]

nice video mate

[kylieeulabil]

wat the hell do u mean yawn???

its a jet. u no, EXCITING

[joshuba]

nice

[naldwell]

What were you expecting? Aerial combat?

[benmills666]

*yawn*

[Hoobee26]

You must be the coolest person ever. Wow everyone here thinks you are The Man, ya fuck wit.

[joee75]

@benmills666 obviously have never stood under one of these things when it is doing 800km/h 400 feet above your head
