You want the truth? You can't HANDLE the truth! hehehehe!
Quite honestly I don't bother with day dreaming or lies. Nothing but cold hard truth!
Guess theres gonna be a whole lotta airports having to completely rebuild themselves to accomodate that thing!
Just like when the 747 came along, and the airports that had painstakingly adjusted taxiways and parking gates for 707s had to re-adjust them upwards again! Life's a bitch sometimes! This thing is so much bigger than a 747. The wing area is astonishing.

But frankly I'm surprised someone who is (self proclaimed) so experienced cannot assess that landing on the 'firm side of ordinary' and has to criticise the drift. And he did flare too. Firm, but not too bad.
