After some discussion with my cellmates, we agreed that we could climb over him and thus we accepted responsibility for separation and asked ATC for takeoff.
I can only imagine the look on that guys face as four KC-10s flew 500 feet overhead (he was flying in the same direction so he didn't see us coming). But that is what he gets for flying just outside Class D airspace along the arrival and departure paths of an Air Force Base.

Let me guess, 10 second go wasn't possible here was it.
