Propulsion of the F-15 is supplied by two Pratt & Whitney F100-PW-100 afterburning turbofan engines of 23,904/14,780 pounds thrust each. Developed especially for the F-15, these high-pressure-ratio engines are reported to have much improved efficiency over earlier engines for fighter aircraft.
The F100-PW-200 is an afterburning turbofan engine with a maximum thrust of approximately 25000 pounds. The basic weight of the aircraft with full internal fuel is 24700 pounds, so the f16 actually has a thrust to weight ratio of more than one to one in some configurations.

NO jet blast is not jet blast. We are talking about a specific type engines on a specific tpye of aircraft.
By the way i was a crew chief on F-4s that had some of the biggest turbojets, so in know a little about jet blast.

Ok sure.

I think the problem here is the same that I have mentioned in the past. All the truth movement aviation experts who seem to have an issue with 911 are all people with older aviation experience.

Fighter jets don't constantly fly on afterburner.

Why are you so upset at my site, because it supports what i posted? At least i can post facts and evidence, more then i can say for the people that still believe the official story.

Yes and i have seen people and equipment blasted around just by an aircraft throttle up to leave the parking area.

I am not the only person with aviation experience that has a problem with the official story. People with some of the most aviation experience question the official story

[Again, when on the ground, Jetblast is a greater hazard then when they are in the air. The air that is close to the ground can funnel under a near-by vehicle and generate lift under its body. .

[Every person on this site that I have had contact with in the 911 department, who believe in the truth movement, was an older aviation person. I can name quite a few, and Mr Lear is certainly one who comes to mind.

But the point is airliners do not have afterburners at all.

This is why I hate debating 911, because even when a movement person gets shown to be incorrect they still have to find some angle to show that their theory must be correct.

But jet blast still jet blast even if it is in the air.

I never said anything about jet blast in the air flipping a car. As stated by the site i posted witnesses in cars did have cars rocked by plane flying over them.
1. The altitude and speed the pilots were flying at would have probably destroyed the engines in a short time.
2. The jet blast from the plane at the Pentagon would have blasted people and cars.
