Russian cargo plane needs more runway

Fully loaded Russian cargo plane barely takes off from Australian runway, control tower jokes until they realize how close to disaster it was.

@blampa

I wouldn’t mind flying those two aircraft; I hope they have reverse thrust like the C208.

@blampa

Shut up; I was no accident. I’m going for a flying lesson tomorrow if the weather holds out. Also, I'm willing to pay more on stuff to protect the environment, if that’s what you mean about the Carbon Tax. BTW thanks for the tips in the other comment; not going to be flying near YSBK because its too expensive and id rather support my local aerodrome instead. I have done work experience at YSBK and YWOL before though.

@blampa BTW, I'd look seriously at what you want to do with your licence, especially since the outlook for GA at the moment is as bleak as 1991.

There are no instructor jobs going ATM; Grade 1 maybe but not Grade 3 which is where you'll end up after CPL and an instructor rating. As you're flying out of YWOL, stay away from YSBK for either tuition or employment, as the only company hiring there have been responsible for the last 4 major crashes. They teach int'l students, and evidently not well.

@NathanielBlack12 Still, only 2 hours. Does your mother look at your father and say; "I can't believe the condom broke?"

When you have over 6000 hours and over 2500 of that command twin turbine time in ac like the 441 and metro 23, then we'll talk.

Until then, I'd get all the training I could before the carbon tax comes in on July 1st and your dual time increases another 10-20%.

They pay the whole runway, they use the whole runway...

@NathanielBlack12 Wow 2 hours, you must be on the fast track to learning straight and level flight. I bow down to your superior airmanship Captain Dickhead.
