As I posted before Stilton... it was my technique. Just a burst of thrust to arrest the decent and off for the touchdown. No float, and no porpoise down the runway. By the grace of the Sky Gods, I never ran off the 5,500' runways I operated into. At least the good old 727 has normal approach speeds and powerful brakes versus newer generation jets of today. I will say this however, getting out with -9s could be a challenge at times... but that is a topic for another thread.
I've never seen jets test flown to or from short runways, and as Joe Petroni said, "Good thing the B707 can't read.". Well either could the 727.
