I've never been in one, but I heard that the wings flex upwards
visibly as lift increases during the take-off run.
Oh, and don't forget that the bird is noticably longer when in Mach 2
cruise, simply because of thermal expansion of the outer skin. There
is a gap at the back of the flightdeck into which you can place your
hand during cruise but which is not even wide enough for a sheet of
paper when on the ground. :-)
