Mpa Run and Break..

I seem to remember these manoevres at MPA carried out by F4's and F3' s being referred to as Fiery Crosses... When we did it in the C130's it became a smokey cross for obvious reasons!!. I plead guilty to a certain incident down there when I asked if the "BOG" was hot or cold and ATC didn't understand the transmission. Looking up at the Control tower on the way past at 250kts....not a lot of feet and seeing the BOG himself shaking his fist. The subsequent one-sided interview was brought swiftly to a halt when he realised who and why I was there. Great fun...got the pictures to prove it... How do I post them in these forums? Clues anyone?
