This thread brought back memories
707 sim at LHR, we used to "race" from LGW to LHR, with the only "rules" being, NO overspeeding the airframe! Can't remember whether it was the 707 with Conways or the one with P&Ws, but one of them allowed the buckets to be deployed over the threshold, without WOW - sure dumped airspeed fast!
The 737 was popular at "Take-off 28R, tuck the left wingtip in the turf, and land on 10R (that sim had "full" visual too!). Any of the SAA crews that we were training at the time remember the "crazy flight sim maintenance man" who demonstrated it?!?
Can't remember the timings now, but it was fun - if there's anyone from Cranebank would arrange me a visit (and if those sims are still going!!) I'd be please to demonstrate next time I'm through LHR!
BTW - we also spent some of our shifts fixing the sims
