saw this on a.net forum thought would put it here as well….
Who needs a 150′ or 200′ wide strip?
Actual shots are from a fairly impressive landing operation. One of SAA’s
first B-747s retiring to Rand Airport, South Africa (elevation 5568 feet
with 4898 long x 50 feet wide
runway!) The 747-100 outer-to-outer main gear tire width is
41.33 ft. Empty aircraft Vref was 115 kts! Right on the center line. An inch
is as good as a mile. Nice work.
