A touch and go is when a pilot is practicing missed approaches and the like by coming in for a landing and as soon as the wheels settle on the tarmac hitting takeoff power to go around and do it again. It makes for a bumpy ride.
And you definitely travel at wide variety speeds--none of them 20mph.
Doing them in a C5, one of the biggest airplanes in the world, gave me the chills just watching from the ground.
