[HeyJoe]

Didn't show up in search and don't remember seeing this nice low transition here

Can we say tactical departure?

Not very tactical at 220 knots! He was pretty slow after what looked like a long take off roll, anyone know the elevation there? Was def low though. Would have been cooler if he bounced a few flares off the deck.

Sure looked good though!

It just doesn't work for me without a snap UP at the end of the runway and a zooooooom for the mooooooon ... even an A-4 could do THAT.

That's the departure out of Bagram, around 5,500' MSL, mid-day, during the summer...alot of that stuff going around.

Similar vantage point, different take: http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=616_1179039291

I always liked this video of Hornets taking off at low altitude. The angle isn't right in front like that A-10 video, the Hornets appear to be a bit higher and there is a lot of noise from the wind but I figured I'd share.
