Aerosucre 727 Crash Columbia

That was a less than optimal takeoff, lacking a workmenlike effort to get airboard within the performance parameters of the aircraft.
 
Wow crazy seeing it limp along in that second video. If you pause the first one at 0:34 it looks like the stab trim is full nose up.

5,900ft doesn't seem like a whole lot for a loaded up 727. Here's the same a/c at same airport 6 months ago.
 
HK-4544 was line number 1158, built in 1975. It's a -200Adv. By the look of the engines in the videos and in other pictures it appears to have the heavyweight FedEx hushkit. I'd imagine it to have at least JT8D-15 engines if not -17s.

Perfect, those were -17 calculations.
 
I could elaborate for quite some time about flying in Colombia and the latin mentality when it comes to airplanes (and women), but I'm way too classy for that.
