The video was taken with a GoPro Hero 3 which was new to me so my apologies; when looking out the windscreen you get serious glare, it does clear up at some points.

Takeoff in "FIFI" a B-29 Superfortress, you can hear the engines roar and the lurch at 00:13 is when they release the brakes and we head down the runway, she's running about 8,000hp so it was pretty amazing.

During the flight our altitude was between 2,500 and 3,000 feet, I didn't catch the airspeed but I would guess somewhere around 200mph.
