Aye Capt N,

As I've said elsewhere....
Had a couple of 727's into YPKG from time to time, 'in dem good ole days of F.S.', to pick up more 'go juice' because of the unforecast fog in PH....

They were 'interesting' nights as well. And 'Profitable' for the O/T of being called out....

And on one particular night, post midnight, on the T/O towards Boulder (Old airport / runway) it fairly 'CRACKLED" as it went over the fence at a very low level after rotation, and crackled its way into the crisp night air....

Half the lights of Boulder came on immediately!!

Then the phone started....LUVLY IT WERE!!!

Cheers
