When we used them for the stated purpose doesn’t seem relevant. I was just pointing out that your concerns about stopping, running up, etc. aren’t valid if you use a proper formation takeoff to get max jets airborne. If it’s being done to be expeditious then it would be foolish to do a static takeoff.
