Cool

Ah now that takes me back...

Flap Sup- Like I said, not the runway, the 5.5 degree glideslope. No way you can slow down any Boeing or Airbus on that slope. Having said that, even if you could use a 3 degree glideslope, I doubt the 737 could lift more than a half load and virtually no fuel on a warm, calm day. Especially considering the engine-out climb requirements. Maybe a 737 driver could provide some figures?

Besides, the 737 couldn't land there without reversers, I fancy (reversers not allowed for noise reasons).
