I Love how these pilots pushed the throttles up just prior to lineing up on the runway centerline.Thats the way to do it.Ive done that in my rented Cessna 172.

[@Odontomango]

You mean a rolling take off? It's very common on the 787.

[@MateuszHh]

Why are these wings so dirty…?

[@LeoMyst01]

Probably many long flights in bad weather

[@iamra_n3189]

They're machines. Weather, pollution and especially de-icing treatments in winter operations.
