Crew was turning onto the runway to depart to SJU, saw Jordan Duncan and I at the fence, and decided to give us a show. They came down to the very edge of the pavement, and from the looks on their faces I knew we were in for a treat. A second or two later the F/O gave me the "rock on" sign, I gave it right back, then it was full power while they held the brakes for a good 10 seconds, then after takeoff they made the steepest turn we saw the whole trip. Just look at their faces here! One of the coolest things I've seen in my entire life. Fact. Thanks so much guys, you made my trip!
