At least it was an "S", but it was also a tip, cab.

That plane is pretty spectacular. I'm guessing it's power/thrust to weight is pretty amazing.

Cool video, thanks for posting. I think the take off was a little too close for comfort.

I'm sure the take off was staged where the plane was on one side of the runway and the car on the other. Visually misleading.

What kind of plane is that? What would something like that cost?

Edge 540 I think... No clue what they cost, but a sweet piece built in my home state.

Probably customized to some extent as well.

Might of been exciting to see in person, but geash that was poorly done.

This one gives you a sense of how much fun that plane is. And it is even more fun when you have your own private runway in front of your house.
