About five years ago I operated into BAH from time to time as SFO for an Asian carrier. One evening the Capt, a former F4 carrier pilot, gave be a quick briefing that I have always tried to keep in mind regarding the grave dangers of disorientation when manoeuvring at low level at night over water. Take offs and go arounds being especially harzardous due to the significant forces of acceleration being horribly misinterpreted by the brain ,in such a compelling manner as to lead to tragic consequences.
