The crop duster plane in the movie Independence Day was not a crop duster plane at all. It was a Boeing Stearman Kaydet, using a "smoker" to simulate dust.
Aaliyah Dana Haughton (who performed as Aaliyah) died in a plane crash in 2001. The pilot was not properly licensed to fly that aircraft,and the small plane was overloaded. It crashed a few seconds after takeoff.

Red Eye. Good movie. xD

When a plane is taking off it should go at a speed at 160 knots before reaching into the air..
Example from a pilot speaking inside a plane: This is American Airways 3953 we are ready for take off over.
The first step is to find out how long the airplane took before takeoff. If it travels at a uniform 2.45ms-2 acceleration and needs to get to 70ms-1 then this will take 70/2.45 = 28.57142857... seconds. The next step is to calculate the average speed. The plane starts at 0 and ends at 70, so the average speed will be 35ms-1. To find the distance travelled, we multiply the average speed (35) by the time taken (28.57142857...) and this gives 1,000. Thus, the plane travels for 1km before takeoff.
The acceleration of a plane's takeoff is greatest at the moment the plane starts moving down the runway, as the jet engines are applying maximum thrust to propel the plane forward.
a jet plane at a takeoff at 100 yards is 120 dB loud
it helps generally to take off into the wind because it gives the plane more lift
Depends on the type, size of the plane. Takeoff speed for most small, single-engine aircraft is approximately 80mph, but this can be adjusted by the pilot for short takeoffs, wind conditions, etc.
Depends on the type of plane you are talking about.
Yes, a B777 plane sounds EXACTLY like a racing car during takeoff!!
Weirdly, yes it is. When it gets to 190 and the plane is at 200, a Bugatti Veyron can accelerate past the speed of the plane.
It is very loud especially at the front of the plane on takeoff :)
