Fantastic posts everyone, makes me feel better that I'm not alone in thinking that some flight phases have been exciting during my travels.
Thing of travels, another one comes to mind - taking off from Durban in a MD - 82 a few years ago. Started as a rolling take off (ie not stopped before commencing the TO) and what appeared to be full power all the way up to 39000 (and we got up there very very quickly!!) The only time I ever experienced power similarly (although to be fair it was not at all in the same league) was avoiding storm cells on TO from the same airport in a 737.
Happy flying everyone
