I'll play- So, in Apr. 91 we're leaving Bahrain after Desert Storm. We get dropped off in an open kinda domed cover thing at the end of the runway and we're all laying on our seabags, waiting. Off down the way there's a C-5 with the nose open, loading up. Huh, that's kinda neat. Pretty soon, they close up the nose, some official dudes do the walk around, and they start getting in the side door. Then it starts to move. Huh, cool, we'll get to see that big mother take off. Then it taxis to the far end of the runway and points DIRECTLY AT US. Big blast of smoke out the back, here it comes. Bigger, bigger, BIGGER, and still on the tires. Then the nose comes up, still coming! About the time you're fixin' to run, it finally gets off the ground and starts clawing for altitude. I kid you not, it didn't clear the hut thing by 50 feet. BOOM! Dirt falling outta the rafters, we about crapped. Too awesome. Man, them things are big.
