this is standard procedure for a f-111. when i was on 111's in a prior life if you had to shut an eng down for some reason and needed to "adjust gross wt" after setting it up for the fuel dump you would go min burner on the good eng and dump fuel to the desired gross wt. the fuel dump nozel was right between the the two afterburner cans so fuel dump and min burner always produced a spactacular show.. use to do it at airshows in the late 70's and early 80's but now we are to politically correct o dump (waist) gas for a show.. although the austrailians are not as PC as us and are still using the 111 so they might still do it...... ardvarks rule!!!

Yup thats an Aussie Vark letting it all hang out and then lighting it.... something I heard a lot of Aussies do after a couple of Fosters.
