Having watched numerous Harriers (FA2 and GR7) go off the front I can say that nought compares to watching the Flanker launch itself off the front of Kuznetzov. Seen them launch 5 in quick succession and its mighty impressive. Don't know how many ergs those donks throw out but it must be a LOT as they line up at the bottom of the ramp, blast deflector up and seem to float at the top of the ramp before rocketing up into the wide blue yonder.
If any of those Northern Fleet guys are on - you guys have really big cohones. Seriously. Very brave or very stupid!!!
