Isn't that the normal way for these planes to take of?

excerpt from the link:
"This is the second time this has happened," said spectator Gary Garrett, 71, who has a real estate office on Davis Islands.

"The last time, it was a 727 in the '80s," he recalled, "and they took that plane apart to get it out of here."

There was no problem taking off on the short runway. Not much room for recovery if there was a problem, but it seemed to go off without a hitch.

Jack Ryan knows the reason why, but the public will never hear about it.

Wow, that's an impressively short take off distance. I'm sure it was empty with a tiny fuel load, but still.

I can see landing on the wrong runway from the one the tower cleared you for, but landing at entirely the wrong airport... *wtf?

Adding video to channels (Wtf) - requested by SDGundamX.

I am sure it was a GPS voice recognition error. The dude was like "Take me to Lenny's" and the computer was like "Dennys. Turn right and descend to 2500 feet."

Actually the GPS was right, must have been user error. This airport is really close to a Lennys.
