Please don't believe everything in the article at this link. For example it states that even after the canards were fitted the approach speed was still higher than Concorde.
At the Paris 73 airshow the Tu-144 routinely landed on 03 (length 8743 ft) and turned off right at the second exit to return to parking. There was little wind.
