MIL at 5400 lbs
One of the boundaries to max gross weight is performance.
I have heard of them even MUCH heavier.
Years ago, a Vietnam era pilot who flew them told me, "they loaded them up so heavy, the single engine procedure was to bail out."
I can see the FAA having issues with putting that in a civilian pilot manual...
