Imagine yourself standing in a muddy field about 2 miles short of a poorly lit runway, the wind howls, it's raining hard out of a low overcast and is all in all a real crappy night. You hear the scream of jet engines at high power, a heavy 4-engine jet passes overhead at 350ft, flying level with full flaps and gear down, lights blazing and rocking and rolling in the turbulence as the crew search for the runway and wait for the MAP to come up. Does dive and drive still seem like a good idea?, not to me it doesn't.
