I used to fly in and out of there all the time, with and without crosswinds. I did a lot of flying in and out of there as a student pilot. Note the displaced thresholds and the glide path.

So, before you call a 2900x40 runway unsafe...

I'm not sure what the wings look like when I rotate with a crosswind, but I do know that I maintain the runway heading during climbout.

Timbuff, the climbout at GAI doesn't count. We have to turn 20 degrees right from the runway heading for noise abatement.
I never said it was unsafe.
