I am of the opinion that the apparent upslope of that runway presents quite a significant optical illusion at night.
Anybody else experienced that?
I know of a couple of F/A-18 drivers who blew MLG tyres due to that apparent upslope and a high sink rate at darwin upon arrival for Pitch Black 87. Imagine the sink rate required to do that to an '18 as they are designed for high sink rates for carrier landings. We presented said tyre (cut down and mounted) to said pilot as a memento.
