Most aircraft use about two-thirds of the runway to take off. This is an Ilyushin IL76 freight aircraft taking off fully laden for an 11 hour flight, warm day, no wind....... oh and look, no runway left either!

    The reason why he couldn't lift off was because the captains balls were too heavy...

    Tower to aircraft: Sir are you taking off? Aircraft to tower: I will let you know in a minute.

    LOL, I love reading all these back seat flyers who probably never flew an aircraft before. I'm sure that pilot knew exactly what he was doing. It was fun to watch, thank you for posting.

    Thank you Capt. Obvious, but you missed the sarcasm. Having many years of working in the aviation field I am fully aware of how it works.

    The runway is longer than necessary in case of emergencies. NOT for leisurely take-offs!

    No, the runway is longer than required for conventional take-offs/landing in case of emergencies, not because the damn plane's over-loaded!

    I think I can, I think I can, I think I can. Don't want to lift off in ground effect with not enough airspeed.
