He said it got airborne at the end of the runway, turned almost ninety degrees upwards, and essentially went straight up into the sky until they lost sight of it.
Watched this very thing when a Blackbird IFE’d into MacDill back in the 80’s. Loudest noise I’ve ever heard when that sucker lit off.
Also watched C-130s take off from a dirt strip called Firebird in Alaska. We were just a step off the edge of the strip. Impressive.
Almost shite my pants flying in a Beaver on a bear hunt on Kodiak. Pilot was nuts. Tried to make it over a clouded in mountain pass and at the last second he aborts and turns the SOB on its wing to bank out of there. Wing tip on my side got spruce sap on it.
