They do as soon as wheels are off the gear comes up so the plane can accelarate off without doing what normal airlines do (wait for 500 feet gear up then accelarate).
that blue angles picture looks as if the plane is 3/4 of the way down the runway already, so the gear more than likely had been up for only a short time before this pilot pulls up.
Have a look at Oberons mirage viedo youll see what im on about.
