Victory rolls I suspect. Our squadron once had an air show for all the Marines and their families. We were all close up to the flight line and Capt. Savio ripped his Phantom up the flight line just barely off the deck at high speed. After he passed us he kicked it up at 45 degrees and did a couple of barrel rolls. I can’t imagine how many G’s he pulled with stunt.

When in a Cessna 182 awaiting takeoff in Colorado Springs, I saw an F-4 hitting the AB’s as he started his takeoff. We were 4th in line, on a taxiway paralleling the runway, about 300 meters from him. As he went by us the noise was deafening. I loved it.

We then put-put-putted toward our takeoff.
