That's not a vertical takeoff...


And yes, airliners are surprisingly agile when not filled to the brim with butts and luggage.

More than once I've had to do a double take passing an airport: an airliner would be taking off in the opposite direction to my driving and the runway is parallel to the road. Get it right and by a trick of viewpoint and the intervening scenery the aircraft appears to lift vertically. Wot? :biggrin-new:

Could either be that they got permission to do so or they were bad pilots... :very_drunk:
