Mmmm, many years ago we were asked to simulate a night emergency in our mighty DimRon at a northern airfield in winter, including turning all out lights OFF. We duly did so, and evacuated the aircraft (sliding down the mighty flaps now at about 70 degrees!!!). After retiring to a safe distance, we found ourselves in the middle of a dark green airfield in dark green clothing dodging fire trucks and other associated vehicles. I eventually decided to sprint back to the aircraft and sat under the fuselage until all the excitement died down....
