Default low Take Off - is this normal ?....... Please view Clip *

http://www.jumpingpixels.com/riskyairways.html
I'm about to begin Flight-school, and I'm always curious about
Aviation-Clips. I have a serious question in regards to this "Take OFF"
seen in this video. Is this low Take Off approach on purpose or Pilot
Error, and would you consider this dangerous or just fun.
I would appreciate a expert answer. Thank you in Advance.

That's a model. Your first clue should have been the relative size of the
aircraft compared to the Cessnas in the background.

Therefore, it's all for fun.

The light aircraft are in the foreground and that is a real life all
grown up Airbus.

Ah yes, I stand corrected. It had to be a model or an air show, and it
looked at first as though it was a model. I had recently seen videos of a
radio-controlled model of an A340, and assumed it was a similar model.

I now found another link. The video was actually taken at an airshow in
Friedrichshafen, Germany in 1996:

Well I'm not an expert on flying any kind of airliner, but it appears
that the pilot lifts off, then levels off to gain air speed, then does a
steep, turning pull-up...all presumably to entertain at an air show. If
this were standard take off procedure for an airliner, it would scare
the passengers to another airline, but it's not IMO dangerous.

I'm about to begin internet trolling school and I'm always curious about
internet trolls. I have a serious question in regards to why you made this
exact post from three different e-mail aliases to at least three different
aviation newsgroups? Is this normal procedure for an internet troll, and
would you consider this dangerous or just fun? I would appreciate an expert
answer.

And this one works. The "jumping pixels" had to reload every time I
tried to run it. youtube loaded and ran fine.

Looks like an airshow type manoeuvre to me. If so, I don't have a
problem with that.
