Nice video of the takeoff and detail of wing structure here.

I hadn't seen Ric for some time but crossed paths with him this year as he was a donor to the Aviation Learning Center (ALC) at the Museum of Flight. Ric made the gift from his father's estate, as his father had a love of flying.
Ric and I had a very nice talk during the MoF luncheon we both attended.
