K25 slide scan. A spectacular event was the formation take off of nine Hercules aircraft for a mass paradrop exercise over the Grafenwöhr ranges. Having lined up displaced to left and right of the centerline the take off sequence required the first aircraft crossing the threshold, the second airborne past midpoint, the third approaching VR and the fourth starting the take off roll. Airborne aircraft kept very low over the perimeter to enable succeeding aircraft a clear view ahead.
