Russian (okay Ukrainian actually) Plane uses ALL of Canberra Airport's Runway

This was emailed to me and, rather than email it around, I figured it should go in YouTube. The video is shot from the air-traffic control tower of a massive Russian (or Ukrainian I am now told) plane taking off from Canberra 'International' Airport. Listen to the commentart from the ATCs - the plane only just makes it off the ground, using 101% of the available runway space.

Those guys have a healthy sense of humour - made the vid worth watching. "I hope I have enough tape left for the crash" - LOL.

It is possible that a flight is when our plane was carrying musical instruments for one of the bands...
