He gave it a bunch of power, and probably had a bit of headwind, too.

certainly not! If he used a treadmill there would have been no forward takeoff roll
cool video!

That was Shaun Lunt. Lonnie Habersetzer basically witnessed the crash, as they were flying together.

I used to do that all the time in a 180HP Pawnee. Hold the brakes, goose the throttle, push the stick and tail would lift right off the ground. It made it real easy to get it exactly where you wanted it in the tiedown spot.
