F-16 Thunderbirds: taking off and afterburner is on!

I use the surround land and trees to give you a sense of perspective. You cant tell how fast he was going, but i hope that the land gives you a sense of urgency that he was taking off in a big hurry! You can see the fire shooting out of the exhaust and the heat trail behind that. He is only about 30 feet off the ground and is giving it some major power to take off at that pitch.
