Moments to remember. Overshooting at Akrotiri, plugging in the burners and going up near vertically, checking the new cable at Waddo, landing with 2500 lbs, taking off again, the cable kicking you into air after 1300ft and climbing straight up. Fantastic!
Sorry to disappoint GT, flew them from 1980-1988, very familiar with all sorts of cables on all sorts of runways.

You do it infrequently and when you're scheduled to do it.
In the unlikely event that anyone is still reading this thread, I would simply say that to me it is still fun, in particular since many of the bitter blinkered has-beens like Prooney (callsign Wayne?) have long since f**ked off to sulk somewhere else.
