Well military aircraft i worked on an overheat condition was taken as very serious and cause for immediate landing and check of engine due to any possable damage to engine no matter how long the overheat was.

But the engine was still able to perform its function until the aircraft had landed and the engine was shut down to do the inspection, yes?

But it was taken out of the speed/altutude that casued the overheat right away, not kept on speeding up.

I'm curious about this video then:
www.youtube.com...
32 seconds in.
Why didnt that high speed pass flip those small prop planes then? Or toss the people standing next to them?
Or is there a magic speed that these jet washes start.

Since when is a "high speed pass" conducted with the landing gear and flaps down? "Bitchin' Betty" will start complaining if you are doing more than about 200 knots with landing gear down.

So you're expecting terrorists on a suicide mission to throttle back because the engine temperature warning light lit up?

No, the jet blast was NOT more than enough to move cars and cause damage because it was too high.

But you do not take any chances of destroying the engine before making it back either.

How high was the plane when it hit the light poles ? Close enough to the ground for the jet blast to hit cars ?

Do you think a guy on a suicide mission about to die in less than a minute is concerned about the loss of an engine?
Originally posted by Pilgrum
Sure there'd be a lot of noise - witnesses had something to say about that at least.

Why do you always completely disregard wake turbulence? And don't tell me that it's only bad in landing configuration.

However, can you show me proof a Rolls-Royce RB211-535 model turbofan engine overheated and was in danger of complete failure

1. Airliners use turbofans, military fighters use turbojets. Fighters fly high to aviod SAMs and AA, not ground level like the plane at the Pentagon.
2. I guess you have not seen all the videos of airliners blowing cars and people around?
