It’s a SkyWest aircraft and they DO have a maintenance base in SBP so there’s a very good chance that this was a maintenance run up.
I used to hang my flight suit on a hanger in a closet located in my hangar.
Love it!
Should have gone to other end of runway where there is a large run up area and no buildings. Where the were is a GA run up area midway between the ramp and the end of runway 11. It’s a small area not suited for jet aircraft. I saw a later video that showed a Cessna on its back and a airport maintenance tractor was in the hangar.
I just hope there was no one inside
Or behind it doing anything at all. Inside was probably safe.
Concerning a guy happens to be videoing..... I'd give them an excuse of it was planned especially with his gleeful excitement of something bag resulted. Maybe there were arguements about the berm wasn't protection enough from jet blast so they laid on major tonnages of jet blast with both engines at the same time.
I doubt American has engine maintenance there that would be doing a long runup of the engines because any mechanic would know he's marked for life after a stunt like this. But then disgruntled employees never fail to amaze.
