The fuel dump with afterburner on, the F-111 was pretty spectacular with this trick also.  RAAF particularily seemed to like to entertain the crowd with it.

Tell me about it!

At the Queen's Jubilee Display at Finningley the guy in the RAAF F-111 did it three or four times, and the last pass was so low he set fire to the grass as he pulled up!

The crowd loved it, and so did the fire crews, they'd had nothing to do for two days.  ;D
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

I went looking for a photo after reading that the F-14A manual had a prohibition on dumping fuel with the burners lit.  "Surely someone did it on the last day..." I thought

The air intake ducts will certainly be interesting. Or the slimmed-down mono-engine rear fuselage.
