Here in Knoxville we have a small grass strip that’s on an island in the Tennessee River called Skyranch where I was taking flight training a few years back. It’s located just inside the lower ring of KTYS’s airspace, but they actually notched the airspace so you don’t have to get clearance every time you fly in or out of there. You have to follow the bend in the river to do so, though, so when you take off to the south, you have to do a climbing turn. My flight instructor taught me to use up every inch of the strip and then as soon as you’re airborne lower the nose to fly in ground effect to raise airspeed so you could safely start the turn. What a blast that was the first time. I have videos on my channel of taking off and landing there. I believe I have the name and designator (TN98) in the title. The takeoff video from that day was to the north, so not as exciting, but the landing is cool because the same restrictions obviously apply on approach, so it’s a bit of a carrier-esque approach.
Holy cow, I'm betting that plane was pretty-much unladen. I love how he/she retracts gear but keeps the nose down to keep gaining airspeed, then a gentle, low-G rotate to not bleed-off any speed while getting pointed skyward. What a ride!
Thanks, I’m well aware of the sub-types of the 680, plus I’m capable of reading the title to this video. I call them all Sovereign as that’s the daddy of the lineup. As simple as that.
Why would you say that? The Air Force fighters I flew have way better thrust to weight ratios than anything Navy had. The F-35 is the first Navy plane that has a greater than a one to one thrust ratio.
Because Navy pilots are used to powering up for short 325 ft. runways and a landing target of less than 60 ft. And of course it's moving and pitching. But other than that, no difference I guess.
Not at this airport, we've watched lots of various private jets depart from this very spot and this is the only one to do this maneuver. Some do pitch up quick after the end of the runway but they've normally climbed at a moderate rate first. Was a great specticle for sure!
Pilots having a bit of fun there, building speed and then pulling-up

That’s kinda how it works…
Great shot. I loved the level out right after take off to build speed and then pulling pack to climb to the heavens =D
Thank you!
Getting a bit of 'free energy' from ground effect before pulling up. Love it. Great video too with your little one showing the wonders of aerospace 😊
Cool pitch-up after takeoff. Thanks for the video.
It was totally unexpected and I completely agree, very cool!
That ground effect and climb-out were amazing! Great catch. Subscribed.
Thanks for the sub!
THIS is a climb-out! Excellent.

Damn! That pilot was churnin’ and burnin’ reliving their fighter days 😂…. He was jammin’ before he pulled up. That was beautiful
A homesick angel ❤
Thank you for sharing this view of this beautiful business jet.😊
And I hope you were not hurt.😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice vid mate thanks for sharing ..
One of the best takeoff performers out there in the civil aviation world. I love the Sovereign.

Cool video 👍🏻 Pilot was definitely having some fun while at work haha. He took off chuckling I bet
Keep up the amazing videos! Just subscribed!
Thanks for the sub!
Two pilots required on this airplane; so probable crew only onboard.
Complete guesswork on that statement, "missy passenger"!
Not sure why he needed to back track other than have a bit of fun with the onlookers........
Smartline Latitude based in Altenrhein, Switzerland
Beautiful video. Love it
Thank you very much!
Good sharing 👌 😀 sub🎉🎉🎉
If we gonna fly this thing like we stole it was a Cessna pilot
Used all available runway.
Must be a former Navy pilot.

@@reltney20probably because he’s an ex WAFU, snaps off salute.
Anyway it’s well known the RAF flyboys (and girls no doubt) wear slippers…
🤣🤣🤣🤣. HE WAS AN RC PILOT 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Let's just stand behind a wire fence cos air won't get through it 😂
😂😂😂
I used to love doing chandelles.
Awesome nice video!
Thank you! Cheers!
Where is this airport? I was stationed at RAF Fairford in 1981 and 82
It's on the outskirts of Gloucester, formerly known as RAF Staverton. 👍

Damn, tell God I said hello.
😂👍
I had been missing your videos pal! I am glad to see a new one
Thank you that's lovely to hear! It's been a really busy time and whenever we are free it's been horrid weather. Spring is nearly here though 👍🌻
Is it normal to stay that low while the gear is coming up and then pull back that hard?

@@DaveP-uv1mlsome passengers like pulling gs and rapid climbs
Slingshot takeoff...
Definitely ex RAF
That’s a static takeoff.
Just how did the pilot misjudge? Taking off from a runway is normal isn't it.
I wasn't referring to the pilot, I misjudged where the jet blast would be and as such it knocked us backwards. 👍
Misjudged the Jet Blast???
Does your carer know you were out on your own 🤣🤣🤣?
😂😂
LAME!!!!!!!!!
