A very cool takeoff by a glider on a mountain, while standing still! Guess he has some wheels to land this thing, or it's gonna be Fred Flintstone style all the way. Lol.

This video of a Russian IL-76 fully loaded cargo plane is from Australia. The airplane uses ALL of the runway to takeoff. If they had another ounce of weight...they would have made the news. Crickey, that was close!
