Have not seen this posted, but maybe I missed it.

Pay attention to which way the wind is blowing when you take off and land. I know this sounds silly, but I watched a guy trying to shoot landings and he was landing down wind.

I actually walked out near the flight line and listened to him talking to his spotter. I waited to butt in until I heard him say, "man I can't get it to slow down!"

I said you do realize that you're landing downwind right?
He actually said, that does not make that much of a difference.[X(]
I said, hey, humor me, try landing the other way just once, and I'll leave you alone.
He did...it did..he says" wow, thats a lot easier.

They point the carrier into the wind for a reason sunshine.
