Remember operating out of RoNAF Andoya in March '70 and having to be cleared for take-off before taxi as, if we stopped, the downward pointing engines melted everything under them which then turned into sheet ice. If we kept moving the surface wasn't affected quite so much, but there was still a need to keep putting down sand to maintain traction.
