1800m should be heaps if there's no load I'd think. The damage to the runway shoulders and subsequent debris field it will dump on the runway behind it on take-off thrust might be another matter....

Takeoff Distance at MTOW 9,199ft (2804m) A very challenging takeoff.

Was there anything saying it had a full load on board?

Nothing I have read Nigel, however I have not been able to find any information on the minimum takeoff distance for the Dreamlifter. Presumably would need to depart empty with minimal fuel load.

The ATC audio is amusing, it sounds like they were pretty lost https://soundcloud.com/buzzfeednews/...t-wrong-kansas

A classic piece of ATC - they take so long to figure out where they are.
Apparently a C-17 did the same thing last year. Seems like the airport is now closed for a week while they figure it out. AD AIRPORT CLSD. 21 NOV 03:47 2013 UNTIL 27 NOV 23:00 2013. CREATED: 21 NOV 03:47 2013 Quote:

Live streaming of it taking off.
http://www.kwch.com/news/local-news/...z/-/index.html Meant to be about 6am Sydney time, successfully in the air at 6:17 Interesting what you can watch on the internet. Thanks Grahame for the link. Last edited by Greg M; 22nd November 2013 at 05:22 AM. Reason: Updated to current status |

Presumably a very short flight.
The pilots eventually worked out that they were 6 miles from McConnell Air Force Base, their original destination. Hard to judge the length of the takeoff roll from the video. But guessing that there was not much runway left. Boeing confirmed there was cargo on board.
