I understand the physics of flight, but I still love to watch (and listen to) something as big as a 747 take off...

My neighboors dont like me. I bought Flight Sim X over the weekend. I have a 1000 watt 14 inch subwoofer. Cranked that bad boy up and spent 2 hours doing take off and landings in a 747 over the weekend. On startup the pens and pencils in my pencil cup on my desk start to dance :)
I got to see a Korean Air 747 blast off from Hartsfield-Jackson in Atlanta yesterday while I was sitting in C Concourse waiting to catch a flight up here to Richmond. 350+ tons of metal tearing into the sky with all that noise...it's mechanical poetry in motion.
Although somebody needs to tell KAL that nothing that big should be painted baby blue.
