The Aussies flew the f-111 (they just retired it) and were known to take advantage of the emergency fuel-dump outlet's proximity to the engine nozzles to do some crazy giant-jets-of-flame maneuvers at airshows:

There's a ton more vids out there of this 'dump&burn' technique at many different shows.

Dump & Burn. Sounds like Star in the bathroom after a hard weekend.
