Most runways had to be strengthened to take the weight of a 747 Quote: These very heavy aircraft can dent a runway unless that runway has been specially reinforced for such a landing It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt... -Mark Twain

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. Yes, pilot skills are most important in matters landing.

For safe and memorable landing you have to approach it from the front, where all the beacons are clearly visible. Portfolio: Sold You know you've made it when you get a parking space for your yatcht.
