Aircraft takes off with no pilot...because of wind.
There was the wind event at Mojave in CA last year that had a 747 giving flight another go. Only enough wind to get the nosewheel off the ground thanks to the engines not being on the airframe any longer. I guess tying down that heavy of a ship doesn't seem necessary.
