Now, there's someone who took Bob Hoover's dictum to heart!    :D

There are a very few, very simple things you need to do, to fly safely.

1) Look outside
2) Lower the nose

Many people will die - again - this year, because they think the above is stupid, like me.

I hope they make an amendment to their take off checklist. Maybe just before select full throttle.

Good point, and I guess this could happen to me.  [b]CIGARS[/b] calls for checking the sky but says nothing about looking at the runway.  I better get cameras on me ASAP, there could be YouTube gold waiting...

[David MacRay]

I'm going to guess you are like me and stow the physical take off checklist after the run up but... If you need a checklist to take off like the guy in the video might have, I recommend adding the extra bit.

I think i'd add one more line to the checklist:

"After colliding with objects on the runway: Retard Throttle."

[David MacRay]

Good call tailwind.

Officially it's just a gues Slick so I won't edit my post but I'm confident you don't read a checklist while taking off.

As for the person running into the other plane in the video... I really wonder if they do.
