Pretty fuckin awesome how short of a roll they need before they rotate! Once airborne they could give a shit about wind, until they land. Fighter pilots particularly could have probably landed a Cessna 150 in the middle of hurricane Katrina. Great upload by the way I love that shit!!:)

That second guy is the one I want to fly with. Not only is he fighting a cross wind, but he also has to deal with the turbulence from the first guy taking off, and he still manages to keep his plane relatively straight on the runway.
Of course, I don't know jack shit about flying airplanes.
