The nearest I've felt to that is the take-off from City Airport, which can be quite hair-raising if you're not expecting it.

I was always a bit old-fashioned with regard to a little bit of fire protection. If the thing's in flames I wanted to be able to function for 3 minutes to get it on the deck and run away.
