Here’s a video clip of an Airbus A380, the world’s largest commercial jetliner, taking off from a heavily snow-laden Cologne airport in Germany. I reckon it cleared the runway and its verges for the next several aircraft to follow it!
That’s quite a cloud of snow it kicked up. I wonder if they had to repeat the brushing-off and de-icing of the aircraft waiting behind it at the threshold of the runway?

+1 on Toejam… BIG sumbitch…
