SJC - American Airlines MD-11 at San Jose - N1763

San Jose, CA SJC/KSJC -April 13th, 1997 -- American Airlines MD-11 on taxi to take off for Toyko on San Jose's runway 30L in 1997. This was a pretty quick take off as most MD-11s sat here for 20-30 minutes before getting clearance to take off for Japan.

Andreag00: if you mean from about 2:12 to 2:16 SJC had a real bad spot that needed re-paving - I don't think that was fixed until early 2000s when 30R was extended full length. Then 30L was shut down for 6+ months and redone.

San José-Costa Rica?

[@fidelcontreras4566]

No, ese es en San José, California (si ves el título del video está la identificación en SJC airport).
San José de Costa Rica sería MROC.
