Flapless 146??

In response to "Fruitloop" to give you some idea try looking at the flapless landing speed. I do not have access to the numbers right now but the last flapless I did had a minimum of 172kts!! So with enough concrete and ignoring the warning it could be done. Please don't invite me before or afterwards.
The tire speeds are in in the region of 190MPH so you would probably exceed those as well, but at that stage who would care?
I guess I should ask, WHY, are you flying one with no seats or interior?
