Boeing rehearses its 2015 Paris Air Show flying display of the Vietnam Airlines 787-9 Dreamliner, including a very steep takeoff and tight turns.
Posted as supporting footage when threads discuss spectacular airliner demos and steep takeoffs.

this video Boeing also released a video of the pilots rehearsing the routine. There's an overhead view of the takeoff - that's a lot steeper than 30 degrees, unless it's a perspective trick. EDIT: 50-55 degrees seems to the actual pitch angle.
What were you doing Tex? I was selling airplanes. [LINK] Here's Boeing, doing a 'near vertical' takeoff in the Dreamliner (spoilers: not really but still impressive), also presumably selling airplanes. this video
Silly link is to the middle of the video after the interesting part.. Here is a better link to just before takeoff this video
