This video is taken on a maximum weight take-off at Jo'Berg in summer. That is the maximum weight that could be calculated on this day, it is significantly less than the max structural weight.

Here are the facts as best I can recall. Runway 21R at Jo'Berg is nearly 5,000 metres long, the temperature was 27 deg C and we needed a minimum of 8 kt headwind to take-off at the max weight we calculated at 364,000 kgs. Jo'Berg is about 5,000 feet amsl.      

Notice how long it takes to reach the rotate speed. You can hear a nose wheel shimmy (out of balance as the nose wheel lifts off the runway.) I estimate that the main wheels crossed the end of the runway at about 35 feet above the surface!! . You can hear the soft click noise as the gear lever lock (which prevents the gear being retracted on the ground) releases. That indicates all aircraft wheels have left the runway.

The pilot eye height is about 35 feet above the ground, that's about 10 metres, and the runway is 150 feet wide (about 50 metres). It is difficult to get a true appreciation of speed sitting so high, whch is something pilots must guard against when taxiiing around airports. The airspeed as the plane crosses the end of the runway is about 200 kts, and about 220 kts true airspeed (due to height and temperature). That's about 260 miles per hour and 420 kilomteres per hour.
