Those J57s were turbojets with water injection. When
they hit the water, it let out a screech you could hear for miles.

The trim pad at Langley AFB was across the runway from main base as was CBPO.
The desk jockeys were most cross with us when we would start water. It seems
the prevailing winds made us aim the engines at them and they really failed to
see the humour in the situation.
