We took off for takeoff on runway 27 at the airport in Bombay Santa Cruz. On board a bunch of Indian Muslims who were on a pilgrimage once in a lifetime to Mecca. It was a hot day and we were close to the maximum takeoff weight of 430,000 pounds. The aircraft, a Lockheed L1011-1 had a takeoff run long with three Rolls-Royce RB211 engines produce a maximum thrust.
