In the dim and distant past, before LBA's runway was extended,
my brothers and I would frequently stand on the telephone junction box on the grass verge by the RW15 blast fence and attempt to remain upright as the 737-200s opened up to full blast for their takeoff roll. Dirty - yes, smelly - yes, noisy - incredibly, dangerous - maybe, fun - DEFINITELY ! Mind you, those aircraft were fitted with relatively weedy JT8D engines. These days, I don't think I'd fancy repeating this stunt with a 767
