The Dreamlifter normally needs a runway of 2,780m (9,119ft) to get airborne at maximum weight; Jabara's runway is only 1,860m long.

Interesting.Pilot skills made it possible otherwise it wouldn't have taken off.
I believe all things are possible on earth if only we try.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God..

Problems can get out of proportion, and not only in the wee small hours. Don't let the problems eclipse the Master. Let the Master eclipse the problems.

Why would anyone want to land such a big Jumbo in a small airport.

Yes, pilot skills are most important in matters landing.

In deed. Within the limits of physics + luck, pilots are also trained on short-field take off, wet-field take off etc

Some suspecting it was all planned for some free publicity. Had you ever heard of the Dreamlifter? Now you know.
