This is what the Americans call "The wall of Fire".
On some airshows a lot of phyrothechnic's (fuel) are putted into the ground and with the overflight of the warbirds, bombers, or jets they ignite these just like it is the aircraft who does it.

A few months ago, during the airshow in Dayton a new world record was set of the world largest Wall of Fire with a length of of 3.200 ft.
This record was set on July 19th, during the "bomb run" of the CAF B-24 "Liberator" "Diamond Lil". I was part of that flight crew on that B-24 during this particular airshow display. :D :D :D

Lot's of pictures of that airshow, and the CAF can be found on my website www.aroels-aerialphotography.be :wink: :wink: :wink:
Keep 'Em Flying !!
