Short Video: Formation take off.
 
If you have never seen a formation take off, here is a short video taken during last week's practice.

I'll chime in here
 
Axel, I know it seems scary but when I'm on the wing I never look at the runway after we start to roll. I check for alignment and clear runway before I give my lead the nod and from then on Im glued to him. Try it.
You trust lead in the air, why not on take off?

Concur with not looking down the runway.

Not really, but your call sign just sets you up, you gotta know it.....

My call sign set me up for many different situations:D It makes peple laugh down the flight line and for some reason my mom likes it. Go figure that one out.

Break..

I guess that why we practice. So we (I) can get better. Flying on Friday. Will change my scan.
