This is amazing. I wouldn't have thought a jet like this could get off that quick.

Yeah, that is short....Consider that it's empty, and it sounds windy.
Thats a cool video! Kinda reminds me of that video of that cub that tookoff in 50ft and landed in 10ft, All in a headwind ofcourse!

Ive seen a UPS 75 rotate less than half the runways length at LAS before. Im assuming it was a light load. Then again those guys dont have to worry about passenger comfort either.
you can normally expect to rotate to about 15 deg pitch on t/o in the 'fifty-seven', maybe 2 deg less w/ an eng failure.
we are leaving KCLT on a cold day w/ nothing but crew and min fuel. max thrust, static t/o and for a V2 climb we get about 22-25deg pitch. Tower said, 'never saw the top of a 757 like that...contact dept and thanks.'
better yet , friend of mine is ferrying 767-200 KORD KDFW at night, cold wx, min fuel, no alternate, severe clear. he asks for unrestricted clb to fl420 which twr say is approved. brake release to fl420 in little over 8 min... not bad for an airliner...
Damnnnn.... What was his climb rate, 9k ft per min?:drool:anic:
I hear a Eagle crew on a repo flight climbed from 10,000 to 30,000 in just under 3 mins.
FYI the VSI on a 145 goes up to 9999 fpm.
I drool over 57's.
Always loved the bird. Just hope I can manage to find my way into one before I die, otherwise. . .I'll die an extremely disappointed individual (professionally).
