Try assault landings on remote dirt strips.
It works best with 50% or less fuel.

Come in high to avoid enemy ground fire.
Spiral down over the end of the airstrip.

Land and come to a stop as quickly as possible.
Unload the troops.

Then do a maximum effort takeoff to get as high
as possible as soon as possible to avoid enemy
ground fire on the departure climb out.

It's harder than you think!
It takes some practice.

While in the Military, I had the "privilege" to ride in
the back of C-130s making assault landings.
It's a rough and bumpy ride, that always ended with
the Loadmaster yelling, "Get Out".
