DC-8 Before Take Off and Taxi....
 
"drop-rise, drop -rise, drop -rise' drop-rise", (yoke going backward-forward), "drop-rise, drop-rise, drop-rise, drop-rise"

Works pretty well.

Christ, you'de think NWA was launching a space shuttle with our after start, taxi, all engines taxi and before takeoff checklist. From gate push to take off covers more than one full complete side of the checklist.
