The Fastest F16 Takeoff

A clean F-16D Model. 25,000lbs full of gas with a motor in it making 30,000lbs of thrust. It feels like the airplane is going to run right out of your hands. And it will if your brain or your body isn't up to the task.

Watch the shadow on the ground during takeoff. My shadow looked like it was running from me and it made me smile. I pictured that same F16 shadow on the ground in my mom's backyard from an airplane model in my hands 30 years ago. Maybe my shadow is running from me. Or maybe I'm running and it's trying to stay with me. I hope it stays.
