The narrator said it was 30 tons,but Dave Carpenter said 30000lbs...
Don`t think the trim sheet would cover 30 tons,well outside MZFW/extra w/relief etc,but AA62 will correct...
Once got commandeered to be co-pilot on the B-D Beverly to handle the `engine-room`,and maintain about 10 ft.wheel height on a 30k ULLA drop on the Plain.....that was a `fun` few seconds.....
