Default Antonov An12 takeoff

This Antonov An-12 BP from Cavok Air (UR-CBG) leaves a good trail of smoke on takeoff, as always taking off very low and using much of the track...

It looked like a full flap T/O?

Good catch! They were apparently trying to set a payload record, so who knows what unorthodox techniques were used?
