FWIW...To be strictly correct and contrary to popular opinion, the Qantas 747 didn't actually 'leave the airport'. It stopped in the wet, grassy runway overrun area short of the surrounding golf course, but that didn't stop it making a great story and source of the various quips related to the incident.
If that qualified as a golf course then many of my indirect golf shots would still be in bounds and I could play my next shot from roads, backyards, verandahs, creeks and even airports…….Similarly, If that qualified as 'off airport' then so would numerous other runway excursions where the aircraft returned to service.
