Take off in a 757 from John Wayne airport....they do it every time....stand on the brakes, power up to full throttle, release the brakes, accelerate like crazy, then rotate and enjoy the steepest climb out you ever will in a commercial jet....It reaches 500 feet before in crosses the end of the runway.
It's fun, a real e-ticket ride..... :idea:

I have been on many test flights in the 757. The first ones delivered were to the company I worked for....incredible climb rate....but nothing has ever set me back in my seat on a t/o run like an empty L1011...with an anxious flight crew...
