As an aside I remember a grumpy TV golf commentator many years ago complaining about Lightning pilots "showing off" at nearby Leuchars, and distracting from the golf on the holy ground of St Andrews. Actually what was happening was successive aircraft recovering to base and doing the then pretty standard run in and break to kill off speed. Noisier than a conventional approach, but a quicker way to get back on the ground.
