Default ATC subtle hints

Today, right after being cleared for takeoff, and while rolling onto on Rwy 36
at SAV I got a traffic advisory from tower about a 757 on a 3 mile final
to Rwy 9.
(for me, that's the lowest altitude I have ever been when receiveing a
traffic advisory!). I responded with "38H is looking" and made an expeditious
take-off and got a good glance at the big airplane on the way in maybe a mile
out as I crossed the intersection.


Not a subtle hint, but going by SFO one time, Norcal called with
"traffic 2 o'clock and three miles, a heavy 747 restricted below
you, report traffic in sight". It is kind of hard to miss a 747
in CAVU when it is coming right at you and passing 500ft below you.
