Dear Steven
How about sparing about 300 of us and carrying on this conversation OFF list.

Fly frequently, many times, often, over and over again, LOOK around,
and practice strange stuff !
Regards,
Tony Markl

  Joe,

  Sounds like you determined it isn't practiced at any of the airports that 
  you go to the same way you determined that two airplanes are NEVER allowed 
  on the same runway during takeoff or landing.  Since the latter 
  determination turned out to be wrong don't you think it proper to question 
  the method that led you to it?
