They do need to be careful about those trees, otherwise they'll crash. Maybe that runway was used for a small, single-engine prop-powered aircraft.

It's a Hawker 800 not 700

The initial takeoff roll was hard on the landing gear but this fearless pilot did not hesitate. Good job of maintaining directional control.
