Prolly 'megan' refers to the radial engine T-28C Trojan Deck Landing technique as shown in this NATOPS diagram.
"MIRROR/LENS APPROACH
...Near the ramp, the LSO will give the cut signal. Following the cut, the 82 KIAS attitude will be maintained and the aircraft will touch down with the nose wheel 10-12 inches off the deck. The throttle is closed at the cut signal and remains closed throughout the landing roll-out. In the event of a bolter, simultaneously lower the nose to the deck, add full power, retract speed brake, and effect a touch-and-go landing.

A waveoff is a critical situation...."
