At that rate of climb I wondered how the hills in the background were going to be managed.
"I've got enough to film the crash"!
That's hilarious!
Man, that was one CLOSE call. If I were a passenger aboard there would be no doubt that I would be instantly cured of any and all degrees of constipation.
I'm sorta wondering about the quality (or perhaps existence...) of that crew's preflight planning.

I'm pretty sure it was filmed there.

Launching off the ship on several occasions we saw planes catch a cold catapult that developed sink rates over the water that were so dramatic the exhaust kicked up spray off the surface of the sea they were so close to going in. Spectacular if you weren't on the airplane. Those guys never gave a damm. They flip the bird at disaster and go on their merry way..

Shanow Canberra Airport runway recently lengthened and made stronger. Quaintass 747 landed here recently when Sydney closed due to fog
I've gone back to this one at least a half-dozen times, and it just keeps getting funnier. The tone of the cameraman/controller's expletive as the jet lurches into the air at the last moment is priceless.
Giving it some more serious thought, I do wonder if those guys had a plan for a high-speed abort or engine failure???
