Q still is so “wheels up” must have some significant meaning.

Isn't "wheels up" airplane talk for in the air? Like as in a B-2 stealth bomber, which seems to be one of today's themes?

Another angle:

My nephew [blue-piller: 8-(] is a pilot. In the civil industry, “wheels up” starts the clock on flight time. I think it is a union thing for pilot flight hours.
