Not so daring really.

B707's were landed there at MLW ++ and I have seen them stop well within the distance speculated. Get it down on the numbers, full reverse and keep the nose high and "fly the nose wheel on" at the last moment. You would be amazed what can be can be achieved.

So it shouldn't be too big a problem with a lightly loaded "STOL" military transport.
