Actually for a real thrill, you takeoff from Osaka with 20,000 pounds of ballast pallet, in an empty MD-11, on the way to Narita. By the end of the runway, you're almost at 10,000 feet. Now that's a wild ride.
Huck, perhaps you've actually discovered why the old guys like myself have decided to stick around. Could it be that they actually enjoy flying???
