Don't you feel ripped off as a console gamer?

I've just read the first few posts on this thread and have a question:

I've only received this game through the post today so don't know much about it. Is the original post saying that there is no way of taking off on a runway in this game then? Each mission starts mid-air?

I'm pretty sure you can land though right? I thought I saw a video of this the other day?
