Bucc take offs


Buccaneer takeoff


Is it my imagination or does this buccaneer appear close to the Ground???


Actually the party trick was to go down the runway and wait for the takeoff speed to reach the right speed then wait for a hump in the runway to lift the aircraft off the undercarraige up but not lift off, the bump would take the WOG (weight on ground) switches off load and they would allow the undercarriage to go up even though the aircraft had not climbed.

So it look lower taken off than it did do on it's undercarraige, good trick eh.

Once off the distance to the ground grew but not necessarily by much and they seem to be very close in many shots i have seen. Some of the best ones show them flying past ATC towers, with the people on them looking down.
