There is one thing better than that. I got my troubleshooters to take me out to launch an F-14A off the ship. A models needed afterburner to take off. It totally rattles the teeth in your head.

Troubleshooters are the guys in the white jerseys

I was both a plane captian and a troubleshooter....and now I am half deaf...standing a coupla feet behind the engine, full throttle with afterburners lit, holding on to a padeye for dear life with one hand, and holding a thumbs up with the other is no way to go through life....
