The last raft of large aircraft coincided with Leeds United playing in the Champions league,which will be at least 5 years ago I think.When they played Barcelona there were 2 Corsair 747's (1x200 & 1x300).I have a great video of the 200 landing,half way down runway 32,with the nose wheel touching down after the old runway 27 intersection.Good job it was positioning in empty! There was also an Air Atlanta 747-200 the same year also on football duty.Also have a vid of this taking off,using nearly all runway 32.There have also been some Lourdes charters over the years,also with an Air Atlanta 747-200,which made a perfect landing on 14 in the wet.
