I always thought I was the only one who sweated takeoffs more than landings.
I consider a perfect takeoff (at least from smooth pavement) one in which
you don't know you've left the ground until you look down.

@k70g2000cwa.googlegroups.com:

Most of the posters have been flying for too long and they forgot
how takeoff feels for a non-pilot or a new pilot.

Not this pilot. I call it magic EVERYTIME the wheels leave terra firma.

Especially when the air is calmer then calm and the plane pretty much does
what it was designed to do so effortlessy as the ground falls away from
me....
