Uh. 30 pound over is burned off in about 30 minutes.

And airlines 'launch into thunderstorm filled areas' only they do it
at altitude

Are you still pretending to be a pilot ?

Are you still pretending you know how to read? I never said any of those
things are untrue.

Or if you hit the ground just beyond the runway in the real world because you
took off overweight.

How would that happen, given you are (see OP) 75 or 100 pound overweight
- COG is not mentioned, so assume we're inside the envelope (fwd/aft
envelope).

The military routinely operate 'overweight' - they can not achieve the
climb-out angle required by civilian flight.

How come they don't all just crash off the end of the RWY?


Starched flight suits -and lots of macho badges?

Cheers

Not enough lift.

The military takes risks that are not acceptable for civilian aircraft.
