The engineers who designed the Boeing 747 were not standing on the runway during its first flight tests. Nor have they ever done so, as far as I know.

Funny, but a few days ago I saw a movie about Boeing and some chief engineer told the story how he put his wife to the place besides the runway, where it was supposed to lift off on its maiden flight.
All calculations were correct and the bird went into the air at the right place.
