reynoldsno1, this sounds like the one I saw, from memory this was done on the main runway and for take off it turned to line up so close to the edge of the runway it nearly went off the edge, it was in the air by the turn off to the short runway and climbed at an impressive angle and rate. When it landed, it touched down right on the edge of the runway and he slowed down enough to turn off onto the short runway and taxi straight into the pan area. This was the practice display, I think the pilot was told not to try it again.
