The first time I ever saw a cart start up close was an F-4E in a tab
V shelter, I never could remember what tab V stood for, and was quite
impressed. Just before start we vacated the tab V and watched from
outside. A jet of flame and smoke appeared under the left engine and
within a couple of seconds the shelter filled up with dense black smoke
which obscured everything from the cockpits on back. When the engine was
up and running the smoke cleared in a couple of seconds.
One thing I wish I could see would be a B-52 cart starting all eight
engines at once.
