Bounce?

"Wan't there the one that bounced, the WOW switch allowing the previously selected buckets to deploy as he went up, and then back down again in rather short order?"

There was, of course, this one:


F3...Akrotiri.

Squadron "short landing competition (allegedly)" Jet ended up in the barrier at the upwind end of the runway - no nose wheel - no canopy/MDC - no crew (Still in chutes, & being dragged towards Ladies mile by the standard AKR 25kt cross wind) - engines still running - Seat guns still clearly visible, much to the delight of all those in the departure lounge......Fleetwood Mac`s Tango in the Night still on the CVR
