Amazing Hawker takeoff on an improvised jungle runway

After being discovered abandoned in an improvised jungle runway in Guatemala, with fake registration and with removed interior (suspected used of for narco traffic) the Hawker Siddeley HS-125-700A, was impounded by Guatemalan Government. The bumpy take off is performed by a Guatemalan Air Force Pilot.

They do need to be careful about those trees, otherwise they'll crash. Maybe that runway was used for a small, single-engine prop-powered aircraft.

It's a Hawker 800 not 700

The initial takeoff roll was hard on the landing gear but this fearless pilot did not hesitate. Good job of maintaining directional control.
