It is something done quite often overseas, and has nothing to do with ones ability to fly said plane. Look at this vid starting at around 3:30.
You guys out there armchairing, saying that they can't fly if that's the way they're taken off are killing me lol.

I have done so in the past, probably will do so again in the future. I don't have too, but sometimes it is convenient. I would never do so with other planes flying in a pattern

Please explain how it has nothing to do with their ability? IF they have the ability to fly from the pilot station, why AREN'T they?
You mentioned it being, ''convenient''. Please qualify that statement for me because I simply cannot understand how going out of the way to take off from the runway is more ''convenient'' than flying from the pilot station????

Once again you started off with the assumption that I was flying from the clubs field when I was actually flying from a private strip, with groves of black walnuts on either side.
