Oh, it is...
I know for a fact that the 757 has flown over my head carrying the President and the First Lady not too long ago. They were taking off from my local airport and were followed by other world leaders, including Her Majesty the Queen. I was on my way home at the time and couldn't be there to photograph the event.
The runway isn't long enough to safely support a 747.
