Loks like a gag, but it could easily be done. Lots of ultralights only need
about 100 feet or less of runway. I have an idea that the local authorities
might have issues with it.
It's been done though, It was a big thing in the 1930s when it was
frequently used to publicise the perofrmance of an airplane or gyroplane

It's a friggen model.. sitting on the roof..
Notice the Wind Sock in the middle of the " putting green runway", and the
numbers are bogus..

There was a discussion of that a while back.

It's a model Sopwith Camel on top of 77 Water Street in Downtown Manhattan.

For more details, try Google Maps...

Yep

I think it was photo-shopped in.

In you zoom real close, look at the right side of the cooling tower. There
is some gray of the roof showing through between the tower and the grass,
where the outline of the jagged tower was not followed closely enough.

Also, why would you not put the runway as far away from the cooling tower as
you could?

Still flies better than you ever will.

Still flies better than you ever will.

Bertie

Heh.

With a reasonable headwind a Zenith CH701 could do it.

Yeah, I think it could even do it zero wind, eh?
One of those Slepcev Storchs could definitely do it.
