Many of us have discussed the idea of doing this in the aero club bar, and there is even an old Irish joke about it. But this pilot actually does it! The short take-off and landing capabilities of the Aeroprakt A22 Foxbat are demonstrated by taking off across the runway. Is this the shortest take-off run ever?
