• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

longest take off

Knew a DC-7C pilot who liked to say the only way it got off the runway was "sheer brute force and the curvature of the earth." The Calclassics DC-7 performs true to form.
 
I find Carenado's Bonanza a bird that takes a bit of real estate to get off the ground full of fuel.
 
Mr Shupe's HMS Bounty ...:very_drunk:

The old Alphasim RF-84 Thunderflash was about the longest I've encountered. I don't have the SSW F-84, but I'm sure its in the same ballpark.
 
I've found long takeoff runs with these birds:
Milviz T38
CLS F117
As far as I know they replicate the real world aircraft.
 
I don't know about the FSX version, but real world, the B-58. There was a reason the Bunker Hill AFB runway was over 12,500 feet long.Part of the reason the Alphasim (Virtavia?) B-24 was such a bear was that it was 3,000 pounds over gross out of the "box". Glenn
 
There was an old saying about Republic aircraft (P-47, B-36, F-84, F-105, etc), that if someone built a runway around the world, Republic would make an airplane to use every bit of it.
