a risky fully laden Russian IL 76 short take-off

Filmed in Australia from a control tower, a fully laden Russian IL-76 cargo plane with a payload of about 455 tonnes uses the full length of this runway to get airborne.

The commentary from controllers in the tower could only be Aussie: "The Vodka Burner" just makes it. The comment "it's not over yet" refers to the mountains which have to be cleared (not shown).
