I saw this live last Saturday in Zeltweg, Austria. It produced quite a bang.
There seemed to be something wrong with the engine during the Friday display (see the crappy photo I took), I don’t know how they let it fly on Saturday, especially when they had a spare plane standing by.

There was a joke out to me made about what the Raven said after eating at Taco bell?
“Nevermore”
But I can’t find a photo of a EF-111A doing a dump&burn to make it stick.

I read that it was a compressor stall. I don’t know exactly how that affects the engine, and whether or not a replacement is necessary.

I mentioned “Raven” in the joke.

Not a Raven. The Poe joke relied on it being an EF-111 RAVEN :(

Yeah, you did. And it flew right over my head.

And it flew right over my head.
It was easy to miss since there was no fire.
It makes me wonder if there are ANY photos of a EF doing a pump&burn

I think it was only the Aussies who did it regularly at air shows.

Neat, in the linked video you can see condensation / smoke puff out of the inlet during the backfire.

Great catch. I actually hadn’t watched the video.

The SR-71 Blackbird!
One of my faves!
Even when pooting at an officially-recorded 2193 mph.
They'll go faster, but there was no reason to after they claimed and kept the top spot for air-breathing planes. . .
