I was at Sepulveda Basin one time and watched Jim Oddino flying some FAI manuvers as well as he is capable of doing, and I think I was the only one watching. Then some guy taxis out a jet, takes off, goes whoosh across the runaway, climbs out. . . whoosh the other way. This went on for five minutes then he manages to plant the thing back on the runway, only bouncing twice, and everyone aplauded.
Instant talent, just add kerosine.
