It was an interrupted approach onto RW08L as an F15 became disabled on the runway; they had to break off to join visual left base for RW04R. It was a tight maneuver. The F/O was PF and as it was a left hand circuit, he kept bugging the captain to give him " visual radar vectors "...it was amazing and interesting how the 2 ton operation operated. Anyway, against all odds, they successfully completed that tight circuit spot on and the F/O pulled off a greaser onto the shorter runway!
It ain't that tight a circuit. Easily doable, no problema!
BTW, 04R is not short. It's 9000ft long!
