A British Airways Concorde was on final approach to London Heathrow when an Airbus A340 was still occupying the runway. The Concorde crew had to discontinue the landing and go around, adding power and climbing away before making another approach. The manoeuvre was handled smoothly by the crew and became one of the most memorable pieces of Concorde footage. It's a remarkable reminder that even the world's most iconic supersonic airliner had to follow the same tundamental rule as every other aircratt: If the runway isn't clear, you go around.

Usually, during short field takeoffs, pilots set the parking brake, spool up the engines first, and then release. It's all about maximizing every inch of that runway. When you're on a dirt strip like this, there's no room for hesitation. You hold it on the brakes, feel the airframe shake as the engines hit full power, and then-blast off. Raw power. Pure aviation. This is how it's done when the conditions aren't perfect, but the mission is. 📹: maas_aviation
