Boeing Dreamlifter Takeoff Jabara Airport Wichita KS
With pavement to spare...incredible aerodynamics to get off on 6100 feet of runway. (www.youtube.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I really don't think he used but about 5000'
Amazing! I have watched AF1 take off from KMHT's main runway which is listed at 9250 feet in about half the length, so they probably used just about 5000 feet too. Granted the only real commonality between the two are the first 3 digits of the aircraft model, but still an amazing site to see.
AF1 has the advantage of having larger engines than standard, and it isn't loaded with 300+ passengers. And, yes, it is an amazing sight to watch that beast lift off.
They're both heavily customized 747s, just fir radically different purposes.
And now that the Dreamlifter has gone, the site is presumably less amazing to see.
You've never made a homophone mistake?
