Guest Cralis Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Check this. From South Africa, landing at a small airport to retire.. Bit of a dodgy landing though! Watch the rudder once he lands... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultralights Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 if i could have just 1 airliner, it would be the SP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest basscheffers Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 At least the saffers were more game than my fellow countrymen! When KLM donated a retired 747-300 combi (half PAX, half freight!) to the museum at Lelystad (EHLE) they decided to dismantle it a good bit and put it on a barge to bring it down. And that has a 1300m sealed runway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deskpilot Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 These photos show how narrow is narrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest David C Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Not a lot of space between the outboard wheels and the runway edge is there !!.. Congrats go out to the flight deck crew .. I assume the SP has the same wheel base as the 747-200 in the photos . I wonder when that one flew in ?? Dave C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motzartmerv Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Holding off a bit of x-wind to.. great job alright..:thumb_up: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cralis Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Here's the airport... and I am told that the plane stopped before the intersection of the runways! And this is where it's parked now... Pretty cool! That's quite a donation! I watched a show on Discovery where they take old planes apart, and sell off servicable parts.. and they made millions off an old 747... I must assume they raided it for parts...

Tomo Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Have you seen the 747-200 at the Longreach airport, Had a tour through it the other day...:big_grin: Pretty nice:thumb_up:!! Apparently it was donated as well, something like 6.5million bucks worth they told us.... The pic under my name is takin of me in front of it also:laugh: Cheers Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
