Here is a top viseo clip filmed from a control tower in Australia of an Ilyushin 76, rather overloaded, struggling to take off.

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE SOUND ON- as the Auzzi banter adds real comedy value to this white-knuckle ride:

I don't think that the controls on this beast are servo-assisted, and I can't believe that he didn't abort as he passed the control tower.

Whoah!! That certainly looked as if it wasn't getting up to speed for lift off. Gotta be sheer Russian determination again. The commentary says it all, can't add anything to that. :o
