Not rotary, but...
My father in law, a naval commander, was offered a flight from a carrier many years ago (probably not long after WW2).
Fully kitted up, he and the pilot were leaving the crew room when the pilot threw a coin into a huge sack full of identical coins.
Curious, he asked the reason.
Apparently there were seven arrestor lines on the carrier. The first pilot to pick up the seven lines, in the right order, in seven consecutive flights got all the money in the sack.
Fine, said Mike, what happens if you miss the last one? "We go swimming", he's told.
"Which line are we going for this time?"
"The last one"
He never did get his flight from a carrier.
