Harrowing Takeoff from Reno/Tahoe Airport

Taking off from Reno is always "fun" (if you like that sort of stuff), but even for thrill seekers this takeoff was pretty harrowing. Due to winds and unstable atmosphere above Reno this was not for the faint of heart. Hearing people's reactions always give you "the experience." Notice how hard it was for me to keep iPhone steady, that should tell you how much plane shook. Kudos to the US Airways pilot for not slamming us into the mountainside.
