Un-be-lieve-able...
ia I love Jet Noise, the true story of how a KC-130 landed and took off (repeatedly) from the aircraft carrier USS Forrestal, in 1963.
The C-130 Hercules, as I'm sure you know, is a big 4-engine cargo plane, with a wingspan of 132 feet. You can read the story here...including pictures and videos!
And try this video, from the same site, of a 130 dropping flares. LOTS of flares. Fireworks ain't in it.
