    Hang in There, Kogasa-san 1959

    They were able to fly us safely, thank goodness.

    And so, the Ultimate Touhou Kamui Fest 4 chapter finishes off today. But since I didn't draw any decent art of the con scenery itself, if anything, this is more like a Confined to Hokkaido chapter! :-)

    Today's survey reads between the lines:

    Reader-added tags include "Safe takeoff," "No 'Stationery' in the survey", and "We lied-pyonnnn".

    I think the first three (aircraft, trains, tanks) are what excite me lined up.

    This kinda reminds me of Madeira: there's simply not enough flat ground on the island for a runway, so about two thirds of it is on pylons over the Atlantic. Still, it's considered just long enough for passenger aircraft, so when taking off, instead of a nice and smooth acceleration, the pilot taxis to the runway, puts on the brakes, maxes out throttle, and once the engines have spun up (five-ten seconds), releases the brakes.
    The result is about the equivalent of a "Maximum-performance takeoff" for passenger jets.
