My shortest flights generally involve an Aircraft Carrier that starts turning right after I start my take off roll.  That particular aspect of the flight/physics model seems very counter intuitive to me.

Rolling out in my 38 on a capped field and trying to use the field gunners mound as a ramp to get airborne quicker...... doesn't work   :D

Yes the Brits have small CVs and the loaded harriers use the ramp.... jumpjets. I was not thinking about them.... just thinking... don't get vulched over and over  :aok

Choose something other than a 'bomber' to get you off the ground more quickly ...  ;)

Back before you could lock the tailwheel the F4U liked to swap ends on the takeoff roll. It happened to me a couple of times especially when loaded for bear.

I found  that on the Map with the dirt fields(can't remember the name) in the AvA, if you take of from the hanger and go straight you hit the other hanger....I did it a couple times.

Rolled a B-26 in a snapshot and didn't need ordnance.

Got my gear up and dropped 3 1k bombs a little too high.

Tower.    :D

Rolled out a 38G on a semi capped field, saw F6F rolling in for the kill, so I jerked up on the runway, knocked my tails, rudders, elevators, etc off. Then it put me airborne, in which I hit the radar tower, slammed into the ground, flipped, and ended up landing upside down inside the offset fighter hanger.

Rolled 1/2 way down the runway, tried to avoid the vulch, lifted a tad early, rolled right and ran the right wing thru the dirt (dug a trench like an Alabama chain gang ) then rolled like a runaway frisbee.  :D

Back when the FH had a bug whenever it was destroyed there was a barrier blocking you in, I tried upping from the hagar. Sortie last 1.45 seconds  :lol

I got killed by a gv while in a gv. I went to up a fighter the next sortie (from a base far away from where I was just killed). I saw a flash of color and I was back in the tower with a message saying I was killed again by the guy who killed me in the gv 1 minute before. A good ole fashion double kill. I was on the runway for maybe .0001 seconds. just enough to get a flash of color on the screen.

Back with the 332nd vikings, in FSO (called TOD back then), one drunken viking released a rocket on the runway sending the entire squadron of 11 back to the tower, including himself. We then had to explain why we respawed...

Spawn on runway as cannon rounds hit the ground.
Half a second tops. :cry
Not technically a vulch as I spawned as they were deacking, the target ack was next to me as I spawned.

I also remeber raming a tank on the runaway for a short "self volched" flight. :cry

Spawned on the runway & cycled through my weapons. Next thing I knew I was standing on the runway in a chute. :o
