Cessna 337 single engine take-offs
Many, many moons ago at CVT I watched a C337 (Acorn Computers?) which couldn't start the rear engine (think his starter had failed).
The pilot elected to do a high speed run down the runway and try and windmill the engine into starting.
1st & second runs, no joy. By now he was getting desparate as I think Cambridge, his destination, was due to close. So the third run, he didn't stop.
To the amazement of the many sightseers he got airborne, due mainly to the curveture of the earth, and disappeared towards Cambridge. Boy, when he raised the undercarriage that prob took the top of a few trees.
As we never saw an accident report we assume he made it.
