In this hemisphere aircraft roll to a takeoff. Are we to take it that down there they run until they get airborne?

…One of the many reasons why spring-loaded landing gear did not become production standard. This is what the pilots called the ‘slinky’ effect…
That T-6s older brother is a training airplane and it certainly appears the pilot needs some training in when to raise the landing gear handle. Caption? Timing is everything!
I.P. to Student “You really should be off the ground BEFORE retracting the gear!”
Ooh, I’ve got blisters…
this is gonna hurt…
look ma, no landing gear !
Not sure this guy has heard of ground effect.
Let’s just hope he’s taking off and not landing!
I agree
The original STOL??
Actualy the CO RAAF Richmond was well known for this manoever of which he was a regular practicioner until one day…CRASH BANG TINKLE TIn k l e and other loud expensive noises.

OK. So you shot down a Zero . But you’ve still got to dangle the Dunlops!

I would assume that they had a new Commanding Officer very shortly after that and that one “hot shot” pilot was on his way to the “Eastern Front”

This one came in late. She’s just tip-toeing so she’d not be noticed.[:D]
