The mighty BA managed to attempt a landing at Bermuda some years ago on a disused runway. Only one actual runway there but a couple of stubs left over from US Navy days. Approaching from London you can see one runway from the intercept heading to the other which is obscured by a chain of low hills. Turned onto approach that one and shortly after startled that end of the island with a go around when they realised, actually that doesn't really look like its 10,000 feet long.

So any one it seems can do it with the right circumstances and its abit unfair on old Han Solo to make such an issue of it. Clearly it is an issue to be investigated by the authorities but in the US there are probably half a dozen a day like it
