What an absolute CLASSIC!!! I was in tears with the "Vodka Burner" and the "We have Smirnoff" comments. Some of the laid back Aussie humour are such a classic and should be protect against the political correct police. Good one guys. Also the long take off could be that the pilots do not wish to use as much fuel during "Smirnoff" but is f*****g funny to watch.
This is one of my favorites ! @extre you are spot on ! This crew wasn't stupid ! They knew their aircraft !!Their turn at the end gave em every inch, their rollout gave em every inch,they rotated at the last inch,they waited for the last knot of speed!! They knew what they were flying!!They took off knowing everything they needed to know to get the job done! SAFELY !!!! Believe IT !!!The comments are funny but I would fly with that crew anytime !!!!
@mrskeggster I worked as a helicopter engineer in British Columbia some years ago.. we were at a place called Lillooet, on a hot (38C) and dry summer's day. The helicopter, a Bell 47, with full tanks and three on board, couldn't really lift off. He barely got it in a hover then sat it back down.The pilot said he gave it maximum pitch on the collective but the blades just weren't biting enough.. That Il76 pilot must have misjudged his V1 pretty badly and VR seemed non existent.. he was lucky..
I never thought the commentary for this video would be so lively, entertaining none the less. Although I am particularly fond of the comments from those who have no technical knowledge what so ever let alone knowledge of aircraft performance calculations. Let the good time roll :)
As an air traffic controller at Yokota AB, Japan during the Vietnam war I saw many DC8-63Fs use practically every inch of our 11,000 ft runway for takeoff. The runway had a slight gradient, downhill from north to south, and on hot days they would often request a downhill takeoff which was often against the flow of traffic. I never did like flying in those things. ✈️
I've taken off fully loaded, 769k pounds explicitly to the south out over the water out of Yokota because our climb gradient requirement were reduced. We always calculated our climb gradient based upon three operating engines in case we encountered an engine failure. Even on four engines, thos climbs outs were slow.
I worked at KPWM a few years ago and on hot, humid days MD88s often took off downwind (runway 11) until around 1300 because the runway had a few percent downward slope going that way and it helped them more than the headwind. Around 1300 the wind changed to come off the ocean so 11 had a headwind then.
@Montreal95 The aircraft may have been designed to take-off from unimproved surfaces but it was clearly overloaded in this video, hence to poor climb rate. The airplane here isnt the problem, the poor planning on the aircrews part is what I was highlighting.
@cullenstagg and with the plane being over-loaded, was there any other way to lift it up? their only mistake was the overload, but the take-off execution was perfect
If this were to happen today it may well have finished in disaster. As part of upgrades to Canberra, the over-run areas are now made with the "disintergrating concrete" these are intended to stop any aircraft that overshoots the runway, what would happen with an fully loaded aircraft that over-runs on take off, I'll leave to the speculators. In this case however I would imagine that the Captain would lift off right on the "No Aircraft Past This Point" white line. Still using all he had. Rommel
@THEGODZSPEED - Umm, I may be wrong (humility in a RUclips comment!!) but isn't it airspeed that counts, not groundspeed? A headwind would surely decrease the length of runway used? Otherwise why do you think aircraft carriers steam into wind when launching.
I used to live out at Amberley and before we got the C17's I'm sure I used to see these carrying stuff out of the base. I thought they sub-contracted to the airforce sometimes. Those hills are very similar to the hills surrounding the base, but if you're that it's Canberra.
haha got to love the sense of humor. Imagine having to release that video to the authorities if there was a crash, with all that banter on it haha. Thats gold
Yeah, that might have been quite awkward! If it was me, I think I would have sent the authorities a muted version of the video, in the event of a crash! 🔕
Михаил Розов: "L-76 is not some shitty concord. They learned to fly among the rocks on the Afghan airports under machine gun fire with the stinger its tail and 2 combat helicopters under the wings. To turn concrete into dust and bend steel - for this aircraft is not a problem. And if you don't want to scratch the paint, you can always use the on-вoard armament." Gosh, you sound mighty defensive (and nationalistic) to me. No aircraft on the planet would survive a collision, at flying speed, with runway lights, ILS antennas, etc. This was nothing but stupid risk-taking.
It looks like they may have missed a before takeoff checklist item, as it appears they are taking off with a full landing flap configuration. I don't know of any large jet transport that takes off with full flaps. We takeoff at either flaps 9, or 18 degrees. Never a full 45. And included in the before takeoff checklist is "Verify flaps 9," in which both pilots confirm on the EICAS, flaps indicating 9 degrees
It was probably a very hot day down there in OZ so air density and max load required more runway lenght , pilots worked it out OK, great tale-off, sharp eye and precise calculation. besides these Il-76 engines have a much higher reliability rating (though less hours) and fantastically low probability of a failure... . Good pilots, great hardware....
@j0ker405 By not planning very well, if they had lost an engine at go speed you would have seen a fireball with a smoking hole in the ground rather than a lackluster climb out.
Smugglers favorite plane. Much of hidden cargo space to fill. You need an experienced smuggler pilot to load the bird right to the limits but not over like the one in the video :)
Close call indeed! You can see the plane struggle since the very beginning to catch speed, as the plane is obviously fully loaded. I think many pilots would have aborted the take-off at half-way allready in this situation, so this pilot either had balls as massive as ricks, was drunk or was just suicidal!
Actually, it was the AN-225 which appeared in 2012. The AN-225 is the bigger brother of the AN-124, which was specially made to carry the Russian Buran Space Shuttle, which was cancelled after the Sovjet Union fell apart. Only the one AN-225 they finished before the project got cancelled, still keeps flying.
@shamabeckalye You can fit one very large thing inside an Il-76 that you couldn't dismantle to fit inside a dozen smaller aircraft. Also, one big aircraft is cheaper than several small ones.
@yuzuki010 if he has an engine failure, he's DEAD. He's overweight. In most countries (Australia included), he's violating regulations to accomplish this takeoff. Here's an explanation for the non pilot: V1 is a speed that before being reached, we can abort the takeoff and come to a stop before the end of the runway. After V1, we are required to take it airborne and handle the emergency in the air. Our weight is limited to make sure we have enough runway to accomplish this. He's ballsy.
That's what caught my eye, Ive taken off 750 feet from the end before and been a bit worried...I hope they brought clean underwear. I think I can, I think I can, I think I can...
Despite all the hater comments, the pilot is very obviously a master at what he/she does. Knowing that the plane is incredibly heavy, and the weather is hot, meaning lots LESS lift, he/she uses every available inch of 'real estate' reaching VR (V sub R), before rotating. All I can say, watching this, is WELL DONE!!
"transport aircraft is going back from southern countries. It's obvious thing that crew has loaded it full with fruits and vegetables . Attempt to take off : 500 meters to the end of the airfield - no take off, 300 m no take off, 100 meters - they have finally take off the ground... Pilot to navigator "What I've told you. There's room for more 1 bucket of strawberry"
That would have given the traffic a fright driving along Pialligo avenue at the southern end of the runway. I worked at Canberra Airport for about 25 years.
Overloaded Il-76. Nothing new here. Pilots who fly like that are very proud of their superb skills! They are also very proud of all the extra cargo they bring home for sale.
In my home country then Yugoslavia, pilots of the national airline JAT Airways, were given rewards by the company to take off at the slowest speed as possible so they can get rewards of saving fuel. Their were pilot's taking off in Boeing 707's at 215km/h.
I love this vid. I have stood in Richmond tower early one morning. Watched a C141 take off in the morning fog. Glorious sight! Vortices were huge in the fog.
@jeff803 If you refer only to the overload then I agree with you and my apologies. of course they shouldnt have agreed to take-off over-weight, but once they did agree, there was no other way to lift the plane
WE PAID FOR WHOLE RUNWAY, WE USE WHOLE RUNWAY
hahahhaha
Lol are you Swiss001
I post this in every video where the pilot uses up 98% of the runway, lol...
actually, they were using the earth's curvature for take off 😁
@@힐만94 Yes exactly right. If you go in a straight line, eventually you will leave the earth's surface. Allegedly.
that pilot knows his plane
If it's built anything like another "heavy", the C-5A, the whole landing assembly is designed for suboptimal conditions -- and a flat tire is way better than premature rotation . . .
The captain is old and his eyesight is failing. He knows when to rotate when the 1st officer mutters "Oh my God"
Be quiet the adults are talking
Love it! :)
🤣🤣🤣

This movie shows the real art of pilotage by highly skilled and experienced pilot, which perfectly senes the plane. Bravo!
I half expected the Ilyushin's wings to start flapping madly toward the end of that take-off roll.
Me, thinking: "You're gonna have to go faster than that." Immediately following, the comment "You're gonna have to go faster than that."

Hats off to the algorithm for suggesting this classic again!
"Yea, you can lift it up anytime you like..." what goes through my head during every takeoff roll since i first saw this

"Russian IL-76 attempts to Crash..." lawl title
i just like how the title says he attempts to crash it during the take off...coulda sworn that guy was trying to get it off the ground
We have Smirnoff! Brilliant!
@s2stuges In my aerospace engineering class our lecturer mentioned it was Canberra. Apparently a very hot dry day with air density lower than usual.
Attempted crash?
This is a military transport aircraft. It takes off perfectly even from the ground. He does not need a concrete strip at all.
Most of Russian pilots are high class professionals. My father was a pilot of IL-76.
@shamabeckalye Actually the IL-76 is a relatively small plane in comparision, about the size of a 707 or a 727.

Until the wind shifts a little and everyone is dead.
Why build all that runway if your not going to use it?

Certainly got his money’s worth out of the runway 😳
I get the feeling that pilot knew exactly what he was doing.
As the saying goes, sometimes it's better to be lucky than good.

on hot humid days they dont generate as much lift for one, and two, your whole trailer park could roll inside one of those with room to spare
