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...
