If a plane could just up and go like you guys are saying, wtf is the point of a runway?
thats not what we're saying, did you read this thread?

the plane does move forward and does create lift...it isnt just taking off from a standstill (like a harrier or helicopter or something)

everyone on anti-rice understood it
