And at least on the GR1, when you put the throttles forward, you got a kick in the pants.

You obviously never "put the throttle forward" in a lightweight Harrier. I saw 180 kts from parked in...

You think you had a tailstrike on take off, you swallow you pride, return to the airport, and do the right thing. LAND. Not sit in the jet for 11 hrs. Then land. DUH:)

Portland, Oregan

The view on a good day is breathtaking, at night, VMC of course, it is fantastic. The terminal is stunning, definitely gets my vote.
Plus watching F15s take off and land across the airport is cool.
