A very quick google reveals that the runway is about 200 metres too short.
This is a good result for me, I can live quite happily on the flight path without DC10's, ta very much.

In the old days used to circuit bash DC10's at BOH which, if memory serves correct, then had something like a 6,000ft runway.
Couldn't do it with a B707 though, as they say, size isn't everything.
With regards to SEN I think you will find the runway width, not the length, will be the restricting factor, it's not wide enough for an A300 without CAA dispensation.

BOH was OK for a DC-10-10 but not for a DC-10-30 as one of my GK colleagues discovered one morning when he diverted in there. The chief pilot wanted to know how he was going to get it back out again since the runway fell below the minimum runway required for a DC-10-30! It came out empty on a CAA dispensation.
I seem to remember that it was a Vmcg problem.
