thats an interesting training rig, the rigs I've seen around here resembles more of currogated steel pipes welded together and a horizontal beam with steel barrels under it to simulate a flight platform.

The little red chanister appears to be a foam fire extinguisher...if so I'm guessing its for fighting aviation fuel fire.

They train like this on my base at least once every few months. You'll see a huge cloud of black smoke in the distance off the flight line. Pretty cool stuff.

GOOD VID

[janandrobin]

you have to wonder how much longer this very important and realistic training will be allowed to continue before the eco brigade claim that the pollution caused is more important than training.
