Try a touch and go in a Boeing 737 - you've never been so busy. What
really concentrates the mind is the runway rushing by as you hurtle down it
in excess of 100 knots! (I've only done it in a B737 sim which was
exciting enough)

Boeing stops by here regularly with all the new planes....737's, 767's,
777's, 787's, etc. They do downwind ILS's(15 knot minimum tailwind) and
do touch and goes back to more ILS's. They do this for hours at a time.
