B-25:
A blog by a "sucker" and a "loser" who served her country in the Navy.
If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.
Slava Ukraini!

Why the early rotation, I wonder?
ReplyDeletePracticing his carrier takeoffs, most likely. Or just showing off.
ReplyDeleteCarrier takeoff may be correct. The video clip is dated April 18, 2015. That's the 73rd anniversary of The Doolittle Raid.
DeleteA few thoughts:
ReplyDeleteTeuge is single runway, 8/26, and only 3,934ft., and on the run up, you can see there is a left crosswind component.
The B-25 has a free-castoring nose wheel, which may be why we see the herky-jerky taxi, as the brakes are touchy. Almost all the jerks seem to indicate trying to correct for a right crosswind.
There’s a pilots manual warning about steering correction at low speed on the takeoff run, avoid due to side loads on the nose gear.
Finally, the soft field takeoff procedure demands early rotation of the nose wheel due to side load issues, maybe practicing that?
