asleep almost anywhere. Back in my Air Force days, I'd often fall asleep in
the back of the crew van whilst parked at the end of the runway, waiting for
our planes to land, while C-130s, C-141s, and C-5's were roaring by, less
than 200 feet away.... The other guys in the van would marvel at my
abilities...
I used to do something similar in the plane if I was off duty. I
could sleep in the noisiest places but let that pilot touch the engine
controls at all and I was wide awake. I could immediately decide whether
there was a problem (there never was) or if I should prepare for landing or
just go back to sleep.
