Default Talk about using the full length!

Next time you hear an IL-76 crew request the full runway length for takeoff, they mean it!

Wow, those guys don't like to waste a bit of runway. I like the commentary from the tower cab..."OK...pull 'er up any time you like...Jeezus Chroist...!"

you're comparing a late 60's design to an 80's design? an F-22 would also "smoke" a Mig 23 but, so what?

Those guys are called "Crazy Ivan" throughout Afghanistan because according to multiple airfield managers and ATC they don't get paid unless they land, so if you really need to make it in some where and don't mind risking your life hitch a ride on an IL-76.

I like the "Vodka Burner" nickname.
