Do you guys even think it would be possible to land a 747-8i at TNCM...i mean is the runway even long enough for such a huge airplane?

Other types of 747s, 777s, and A340s land there all the time, so I wouldn't see why not.

I'd like to see an A380 or an AN225 try it. Shocked

Ya but the 747-8i is the biggest 747 ever....just smaller than an an-225

(Blue is the 747-8i)

I keep trying to find some runway length requirements for it, but I'm coming up short. (no pun intended. Grin

)

I didn't realize how big that thing was until I looked at the chart you posted. Shocked

So it would be possible...hmm It's bigger and yet more nimble....I think that Boeing hit the nail on the head with this thing, she's gonna revolutionize commercial air travel
