Looks like the runway might need to be extended.The two aircraft traffic controllers are very funny.

Similar thing happened at YSRI in Nov 06

This sort of thing was one of the reason behind the rapid C17 acquisition, you don’t see anywhere near the amount of dodgy Russian transports doing Military charters now

its an Ilyushin 76....no Antonov in that video.

And said runway has since been extended!

" The vodka burner is rollin'.. "

" We have Smirnoff! "



Funny stuff that!! :D ...but in all seriousness, that must have been metres from the edge of the runway!


Thanks for the post Craig!
