all the boeings do fully automatic takeoffs in 45 knot crosswinds, just set power and sit on your hands, feet across lap, and allow it to takeoff ...i'm just playing !!!

however i have heard of a piper cub taking off from a GA ramp due to engine running on a snowy surface and flying around till fuel exhaustion and crashing intact ... true story afaik
