Take of or Launch?

I believe that every human has a finite number of heart-beats. I don't intend to waste any of mine running around doing exercises.

I bet he wished he had the switch the Buccaneers had for selecting gear up before take off.

I'm not impressed with the takeoff, I want to see the landing!

I had the same thought when I watched it, the takeoff is kind of run-of-the-mill. The landing must have required at least a few shorts changes afterwards. Would you land there?

Not on my list of "to do's", that's for sure.

That looked like an Encore, very similar to what I fly. If you are at a light weight, takeoff rolls can be as little as 10 seconds. They are at altitude but you have the downhill slope helping you.

The landing would be much more challenging.
