taking off and then doing a dummy landing, showboating a bit.
Probably not showboating. When I was on a UAS Summer Camp at Binbrook, we were taken down to the runway caravan to watch Lightnings taking off and landing. We were told that they never did roller (touch and go) landings in order to save tyre wear. All the practice approaches were followed by an overshoot. I forget how many landings they got from one set of tyres, but it wasn't many.
I'm sure LM can fill in the details.
