Nomad, having done this many times (legally) in the other 4 engined Queen of the Skies I'd say you'd better believe it! Indeed I doubt his approach left any wildlife alive that might have been disporting itself on the threshold, he'd have been max deflection fly-up at 300ft and the rubber laid from the start of the piano keys onwards.
I'd have loved - just
loved to have seen/done that in the 747 sim!
I remember the excitement and sheer improbability of it working in the 146 the first time I was shown it!
I remember even more clearly the challenge of getting a 320 down there - so hats off to our 744 wheel above!
But of course with practice and a little unnecessary disrespect for your brakes the 146 would turn off midway with ease. Natch!
