I came across this video today.
It was posted on YouTube 3 years ago.
Notice the aircraft slew when one of its wheels hits a practically deep/bad spot.
I think the pilot was lucky to get airborne.

Far out! Add half a tonne to your takeoff calculations for all the mud on the airframe!

It's a wonder it even got off the ground! I've seen some videos of "muddy" runways but this one this the most extreme video I've seen!
