I was at an airfield that had a "hasty" runway on one side that the Army and 
similar folks used and a concrete side the Air Force and Navy used.  One day 
I walked over to the other side to take movies with my brand new Super 8 
camera.  Some Air Force pilot was getting an in-country transition to C-47s 
(at least I hope he wasn't a certified pilot).  At any rate, I have a few 
movies of landings where the last part is a shot of my feet and the sand as I 
ran to get behind something.  I never before or since have seen anything so 
big so out of control.  Very impressive.
