The landing distance on this runway is around 5800ft due to a displaced threshold. I've been in there once or twice - it's a very tight squeeze.

I'm amazed aircraft like the MD-80 can get in and out. I've also watched a 727 take off from there on a 90 degree day - now that was a sight to behold!

I believe this runway experienced an overrun recently with an ATA 757-300 - the aircraft on this occasion did stay within the airfield boundary.
