No idea if this has been posted before but I just received the link from my father. Having flown Aeroflot before I can believe this footage of an Antonov - world's largest cargo plane having a close take off at an airfield in the State of Victoria in Australia.

The commentary is priceless...

Definitely a close one. Maybe he should have backed up once he taxied to the end of the runway to allow more runway length to take off. Probably can't back up on his own though.

It was around about 1 year ago. I'm sure the pilots still have fresh in their mind as if it was yesterday.
