You guys obviously haven't seen videos of 747s landing at St Maarten if you think that was dicy.
At Halton in the mid 60s, people often used to park their cars in the undershoot of runway 02 when we were gliding. I have a memory of one approach I made in a Sedburgh where there were children sitting on the roof of a car and a man was snatching them off the roof as I passed over when landing. Some of the other guys would stuff the nose down for excess speed and descend low over the field across the road from the airfield, then pull up over the road to land. Funny how the local bus company would always switch to single deck buses in summer but would run double deckers for the rest of the year.
