I like the post;

"I don't think it actually got airborne. I think the curvature of the Earth meant the ground fell away from it".

I liked the quote from the video:

"I'm running out of film here but I have enough to film the crash."

"Yeah . . . you can lift it up anytime you like."

Well, you know that with airport taxes being what they are, maybe the pilot was trying to get his money's worth and use every inch of runway.  I mean, after all, he paid for the use of it!

Joisus chroist.

Pretty pethetic for YSCBs 11000 foot long runway. Probably a hot day though.
