As a jet engine mechanic myself, we have rules in place for how close we get during power runs. Also have inlet covers for the fighters.

I remember not long after Charleston got the C17 we were doing TRT runs (on spot 15 I believe) and a pro super drove behind the plane in a full size 1500 with a camper shell. Ground guy called out "Power down" but it was too late and ripped the camper shell off and tossed it out into the grass. Compressor stalled the engine etc.... Pro Super was white as a sheet :D Back then when it was McDonnell Douglas, a CS required an engine change.
