saw this posted on Anet, I have seen videos of this practice before but this one is impressive.

The three most common expressions in aviation are, "Why is it doing that?", "Where are we?" and "Oh Crap".
Is it possible someone will EVER learn how to take a video? geesh... ALWAYS shaky videos from the best places. Do we not have semi capable folks out there able to produce a steady video?
Absolutely amazing those MITOs...

imagine living nearby when they did this? Imagine our lovely ciizens who complain about noise? lol Would love seeing their faces
Thought of you when I saw the video Moose. Are those the A model -135's
Yes they were.
I don't remember the interval between B-52s, but if we were following a B-52, we used a 15 second interval behind them, and a 12 second interval behind another tanker. Being number three or four in a wet MITO was a act of faith - you didn't see anything until you were off the ground. Once airborne, each aircraft would make a small heading change to help mitigate the effects of wake turbulence, but you still got bounced around some.

Any idea what year that was?
I found this one on YouTube and the engine exhaust doesnt seem as bad.

Wow, I guess the term "caution wake turbulence" is kind of a moot point here
Seriously though, that was freakin bee-you-tee-ful. I'm sure that made Griffiss a big fat bulls-eye to the Reds back in the day.
