Extremely short runway 747 takeoff

Back


This was the first 747 passenger flight from Bournemouth Airport, UK, destination New York. Bournemouth has a short runway so this was an incredibly dramatic take off for the 747. Listen for a guy in the background saying "its not gunna make it!" and "Jesus christ!"

It's not an extremely short runway you fucking idiots. Pilots calculate their take off thrust to be just enough to rotate the aircraft without overshooting the runway. It's airline policy for saving fuel.
