Thats true.. Flew with an instructor at Emirates Aviation Services and man, he was racing down the runway! THe controller probably said "expedite" 3-4 times ( takeoff, landing, taxing )... Not to mention the 10 min hold before landing!! Cool experience but probably not a lot of fun after doing it a few times!!!
I thought Sharjah was not a very busy airport! If it is busy, I suppose UAQ and Fujairah are my options....Will look for your post..
