I saw that jet truck run. In fact, I believe I saw the run you just posted. It looks like the one that occurred at the Sussex County Airport, in NJ, at the air show held there in August, 2004. The truck actually drag-raced the airplane and the truck won. The plane flew in at a low-level and when it was over the truck, the jet truck started its run from a standing start. By the time the truck reached the end of its run and started to slow down, it had passed the plane. A really incredible and thrilling event to witness.
