So half the weight of that plane is resting on a Sidewinder then? Niiiiice.

I'm not sure if the tip was caused by the taking off B-1 or by the fact that the F-16 passed behind the B-1 that was waiting to line up.

Wonder if the pilot was sitting in the the cockpit rocking from side to side "If I can just get it tipped back no one will notice"

I would!

It's a pilot's version of Mr Bean's Mini vs the Reliant Robin...

That B-1 was just starting to move forward so would have been throttling up.

The OPFOR F-16 in the video made me wonder if this was up at Eielson AFB. Googled around and sure enough.

Here's the funny thing though... Apparently that same F-16 was involved in another similar incident 4 years earlier. The were doing an engine run and it rolled away on its own 400 ft and stopped tipped over in the same exact position!

Which B-1?

The one he passes behind, at 20secs in you just see the rear of it starting to move left as the other B-1 is taking off and clearing the runway for it to take up it's position on the runway.

That's what I thought. The blast from the B-1 to the rear of his F-16 rather than the B-1 on the runway was more likely to lift him up .

Yup.

Reminds me of the infamous Blown by the Bone incident at RIAT 2001 at Cottesmore
