thats not a T/O ...it's a landing

Did a B767-300ER T/O this year that was better than that pic. Somewhere around 230K TOW with 120K of thrust.

Definately a break from the usual heavy weight TO's. Still seemed out of place for a plane that size to have the thrust/weight ratio and climb performance of a Lear 24.

wow, and no tail damage, nice!

That was a during a test flight out of Boeing Field. The first 757 with winglets thats going through certification. Don't think it's in service just yet. Probably was empty or very light.

You mean a Lear 24 approach MGTOW.

Last winter I took off in a 7200# aircraft with only 1400# of fuel. The lear has 6000# of thrust. A little better then 1:1.5 thrust ratio.

Of course, considering a Lear 24 is min fuel departing the FBO ramp, I didn't get very far.
