Could it also be the worlds shortest 747 planned flight?
The delivery of the SAA 747-200 from Johannesburg to Jo'Burg Rand would be hard to beat for this title. It's also got to be one of the shortest and narrowest runways to put a 747 down on as well. This airport has an elevation of 5568 feet and runway dimensions of 4898 feet long by 50 feet wide. The aircraft's outer-to-outer main gear width is 41.33 feet, so not too much room for error !!

Dunsfold ? .... would be a piece of cake to these guys

Short Final

Flare

Narrow Runway !!

Tight Fit !!
