Are you guys serious about 757 or DC-8s using BGBW or do you mean Sondestrom? BGBW is Cat A and B only. BGBW only has 6004 feet of total runway length
Yes, I watched an SK DC-8-63 land at BGBW on more than one occasion back in the eighties - I would not have believed it if I hadn't seen it. Charters from Copenhagen, I think.

On that occasion I was passing through on ferry flights quite frequently.

On the 80's at PDL/Azores we used to have 707 of Independent Air and D8's of Worldways and Airlift Int from/to USA&Canada with more than 1700 mts!

BTW, my vote goes to Saba, Lukla and old RWY at GIB
