Watched an airvan take off from Meekatharra month or so ago. Lined up mid field and hit the taps with 3 or 4 pax on board. Three of us stood there with our jaws dropping to the ground watching in amazement as he hurtled down the runway in a mad attempt to get airborne. He only just cleared the fence by inches. If only they knew how close they came to ending up in a big heap that day.
