Key Takeaways:

The article presents a photograph from Oshkosh 2001, featuring an F-18 jet departing the runway.
The F-18 is shown passing a Sukhoi on the taxiway, with its swift departure humorously labeled an "express lane."
Unlike "smaller" non-jet aircraft that used an intersection further down, the military F-18 was granted full use of the runway for its takeoff.

“Express lane…Mach 1 and above.”

A Sukhoi on the taxi way get’s passed up by an F-18 departing the runway. The “smaller” planes (read: not jets…I guess) were departing from an intersection further down the runway, but this military jet got to full use of the runway.
