I dunno. Before I tried some goofy contraption, I'd at least think about the feasibility.:engel016:

No we can clearly see the landing gear up in the video.

I would guess this would be classified as a Gear up Take off. While always a good idea on a carrier it is not a good idea when on the ground.

The pilot should have refrained from raising the gear until he had established a positive rate of climb. :icon_lol:

I think he needs to add "Shoes tied?" to the pre-takeoff checklist :d
