Yeah, that is why a lot of pilots of smaller planes hate flying into big airports. LOL

I'd love to see what would happen if they put a modern race car with full ground effects and spoilers pointed straight into a blast like that.

I do believe they said in the video that they could only leave the engines at full throttle for 20 seconds as it would start ripping up the tarmac after that so I assume the race car wouldn't last that long
