Aerosucre Boeing 727 low take-off back in 2015

Aerosucre will likely clear those trees out with the leading edge of a wing and subsequent post crash fire.
Just give them some time, they've run out of 727 to crash.

Wish I was joking, but they have a good track record of leveling the departure and arrival ends of runways.

They started with 16 aircraft and apparently have crashed 10 of them for a balance of 6 aircraft from an article I read. That's absurdly bad.

In a Mentour pilot video regarding an Aersosucre crash he claimed that Aersosucre wrote of more airplanes due to crashes than they have ever owned simultaneously.

Because then they’ll load the planes even more and the next obstacle will be the wire fence.

Aerosource is known for overloading planes to the point they can barely climb.

mwthomas11@reddit

thank you for the context, I've never heard of them before and was like why is everyone not surprised lol

[-]

tire_sire@reddit

They’re all low. Takeoff is from the ground.

I mean, it made it. Razor thin margin, but it made it.

Nah, this is huge margins by Aerosucre standards. Pilots pussied out. Probably has to wear cat ears around all day now and meow on guard.

This is paying for the entire runway:

Sometimes they take the razer fence with them:

I felt inspired to slow down the first video you linked. Not at all a perfect video but wow that was close.

Latter-Vacation-4392@reddit

just watched that vid...wonder if any of those guys on the ground got decapped from the wire fence

[-]

rygelicus@reddit

Or this one. IL-76 in Australia using it all. Potato camera though.

[-]

ZeePirate@reddit

The movie maker screen is a throwback

thatsvtguy@reddit

the one where they hit the fence, they also hit the shed, and the only survivor of the 6 onboard was the 70-year old flight engineer.

[-]

Muschina@reddit

The same guy who F'd up the performance calculations. That's just wrong.

[-]

thatsvtguy@reddit

I checked the Wikipedia, and I misremembered, it was actually just a flight technician who survived

[-]

LeatherRole2297@reddit

Came here to say this. These guys probably get ridiculed by their fellow Sucre pilotos…

[-]

Frisco-Elkshark@reddit

This HK-4544, the one that went down in 2016 in flight 157

Aerosucre. The grip it and rip it cargo outfit.

The OG “if it fits it ships” airline.

[-]

danit0ba94@reddit

I admit I don't know anything about aerosource and it's going to show:

Is that thing overloaded or underpowered? Looks like it was barely clearing those trees, and barely gaining altitude.
Pretty sure even the 340-300 doesn't take off quite this shallow.

[-]

Maximus13@reddit

By Aerosucre standards, this is basically a jet-assisted take off

[-]

bocepheid@reddit

Reminds me of this video of the IL-76 at Canberra. "The vodka burner is rolling."

[-]

ChrysisIgnita@reddit

V1..rotate...more rotate... kinda slightly positive climb... gear up before it hits the trees.

[-]

ContributionEasy6513@reddit

Weak effort, they had plenty of runway and at-least 20m to spare over those trees!

[-]

thatsvtguy@reddit

yeah, they made it in the air! didn’t even crash into anything.

[-]

OptiGuy4u@reddit

Hercules Hercules Hercules .....momma would be proud.

[-]

SomeRandomSomeWhere@reddit

The least they could have done is given the tree tops a trim!

[-]

stevetures@reddit

kinda looks like some previous aircraft did already?

[-]

Popular-Rock6853@reddit

They didn't even touch the fence. Amateurs.

[-]

Mazduhh@reddit

Mom said it was my turn to repost this!

[-]

ThePhotoYak@reddit

Overweight, that's all the climb performance they have.

[-]

Adventurous_Pea_2007@reddit

Holy shit now that you mention weight I think I remember when this happened and it was a big deal

[-]

Buzz407@reddit

Force of habit. I'm convinced they hire smuggler pilots who get their 20 missions in.

[-]

kaaskugg@reddit

Some say it's still climbing to this very day.

[-]

tariksbl@reddit

even just Days since Aerosucre low takeoff

[-]

Mekroval@reddit

Big Air Sugar's got to make some karma somehow.

[-]

Zapatos-Grande@reddit

There are pilot influencers out there that probably wish they had the views Aerosucre gets for just their take off videos.

[-]

Twitter_2006@reddit (OP)

I was thinking about this too when I posted this.

[-]

Oh man my first memory as a child was in a 727🥹. We used to fly AA and USair (early 90s) . It was looking out the window being in awe of the fields and world 30 thousand feet below. Thank you 727 for the first memory which would last a lifetime and a love of flight that I'm so grateful for.
