  • @JeffyBigH It's an air vortex. 

  • Nice shot of a vortex when he came to stop. If the engines are at high speed and the pane is stopped or slow, with te thrust reversers on, a vortex will appear if it is humid enough.

  • @btman2 nice ;) thanks

  • what the heck is coming out of the engine at :15?

  • @1Filmproducer Really big ones will if they need to but if you didn't notice how short the landing top stop was..... its very VERY short.

  • do most planes use reverse thrust when landing??

  • i believe this is Dover

  • what base are these guys from? Ive heard that the teams outta Charleston AFB are some of the most fun to watch
