Mensaje: <blockquote data-quote="federicobarbarroja" data-source="post: 203653">A dump-and-burn is a fuel dump where the fuel is intentionally ignited using the plane's afterburner. A spectacular flame combined with high speed makes this a popular display for airshows or as a finale to fireworks (eg. Riverfestival).F-111 aircraft are often used for this purpose in Australia, including during the closing ceremony of the 2000 Olympic Games. Pilots have described the experience as exhilarating, although they themselves cannot see the flame - just the orange glow in the sky as the huge flame produces massive amounts of light.Some sources suggest the United States Air Force has banned the practice for cost and safety reasons. It has little practical use in combat except for potentially lighting up an area for observation at night, although naturally not during active combat (the plane would simply make itself into a target).</blockquote>
