The loadmaster has finished the
aircraft preflight, and all systems are GO! So put in your
earplugs as we start the engines. These engines are powerful and
a lot louder than any commercial plane you might have ridden on
before. The loadmaster stands outside the aircraft during engine
start to watch for flames, smoke, or any fluids spewing out of
the engine. Scared yet? This is your last chance to change your
mind! |

"Teal Four One, Keesler Tower. Winds 180 at 5,
altimeter 29.95. cleared for takeoff runway two one. Climb and
maintain two thousand, runway heading." |

The airplane is very heavy with a full load of fuel, so we'll
have to use most of the mile-long runway. Brace yourself: the
engines are running at full power, so as soon as the pilot
releases the brakes, the plane will leap forward. Rolling....
rolling... picking up speed... there's 100 mph...
rotation...we're off! For another adventure into the most
dangerous weather in the world. |
