Ahh JT fond memories. In the DC9 I recall the view through the windscreen was all green - pondered which would be first - Vr or the grass!
Another interesting one was the B733 at Great Falls Montana, with a Boeing crew. We had just lined up for a rejected take-off, my trusty FTE (one MGB) requested a look at the TO chart before we launched. After a few minutes from the back came "we don't actually have the chart for these engines on board"
Taxi in, call Boeing flight test, wait for the chart to be faxed to G Falls. Review the chart, defuel 10 tons, off we go.
The overrun on that runway had to be seen to be believed - the airfield on top of a mesa with an interesting drop to the terrain below.
