OVER THE LINE!
Nice clip! Hadn't seen that one yet, thanks for posting
great post...so one question I have, since their outboard wheels "poop off" so to speak when taking off...does a wingtip always end up hitting the deck when they land?
great video! even though its air force porn!
So fucking cool.
answer to my own question incase anyone else was interested.

Pretty cool footage from a great show...hope this isn't a repost! This wasn't Huggy was it??
Huggy is not a Major
The second pilot interviewed, with the mustache, is Duster, and some of you might know him. He flew the EA-6B at Whidbey from around 1996-2000 as one of the USAF pilots there.
And Schnugg is correct: many of the guys put music though their ICS. We have rigged up an interface that goes between the iPod and the jet.
Zeppelin is a good choice, of course.

Same way it works on deck. The thrust lapse is substantial, but the drag is lower up there, too. The engine only really cares about very few conditions, and most of them are non-dimensional, like Mach number, fuel ratio, etc. So as long as the Mach number at the inlet is in the correct range, and the air/fuel mass flow ratio is maintained by the control system, the engine should run just fine, but you won't get a lot of thrust out of it because the mass flow is so low. I'm sure Huggy could speak to how it "really" works, but that's the idea from a "theory guy."
