Runway Op's
It is now typical of A/C to depart from the intersection of runway 08.
I often see one aircraft back-track whilst another makes an immediate departure from the intersection.
Back in 1985 or thereof I recall watching an empty Monarch 757 depart from runway 26 and start a high rate climb out from less than 3500 feet of tarmac.
During last year I have seen A300 and 767 A/C also depart from the intersection.
But I miss the one-elleven A/C that with shear thunder used up most of the runway with not too much room to spare before rotation and set off the alarms in the cars below!
I am sure others will remember this?
