Over 600 landings, all with zero problem
You win.

I probably only had about a dozen, it was not one of our regular runs, only went there a few times a year and I wasn't on all of them. The nose brakes had been removed on all three of our 727s. Never got to spend the night there. The trips were all straight down there, then deadhead home.

The other two places I would use flaps 40 was SBA and EYW. We would use those airports when Vandenberg AFB and Navy Key West were closed.
