Four star, not porn star. My flight attendant wife was also in the jumpseat. My regular FO on that flight was the fellow in the tower who cleared me to land. He has property there and happened to be there on that flight. The video shows how important it is to land in that 700 ft touchdown zone just past the displaced threshold. Clearing the runway you can see the cliff they went off. The 1,000 ft you should never need for stopping is past that taxiway before the last one at the end. Rolling to the end keeps the brakes cooler.
