How much runway does a DC8 require at sea level using ISA conditions? at MTOW and at half fuel load?

Thanks ADS

Would that be a 50,60 or 70 series?
The MTOW includes the fuel.

At MTOW for a DC8-63F = 161,000KGS, the aircraft would need a runway the size of Shannon's 06/24 - 10,500 feet. An aircraft like that could not use Dublin's shorter runway for example of 8,600 feet.
