Do you mean Boston Logan International?  :-?


If it is then yes. I don't know what you are asking. :-?

Can you fly a 747 out of Boston Logan Int'l?  If that is the question, then, yes; it is possible.

Can you put one in your backpack and take it out of the airport like you would duty-free goods?  Well, you would need an awfully big backpack . . .

Did you post this after a pint or two?  ::)

Confused,

You can take the 747 out of Logan, but you can't take Logan out of the 747?

I assume the question is:

"If I want to fly out of Logan on a 747, what airlines and flights and destinations do I have to book?"

Has anyone here seen the video footage of a 747 landing at St. Martin in the Netherlands Antilles? WOW!!! Man, I bet those passengers had to have their seats surgically removed after THAT landing. I imagine it HAD to have been an emergency landing situation because St. Martin's Princess Juliana Airport is nowhere NEAR big enough to accommodate 747's and spans beach -to- beach. He just barely makes the runway on his approach. It is a wild video! You can see it at military.com ... it is in the "Top Shocks" section.

747s regularly fly into SXM. The runway is easily more than enough for a 747 as it is over 7000 feet long, however, long range flights are payload restircted and as far as I know, need to refuel half way home.

Really? I didn't think they could. This particular video shows the aircraft come-in EXTREMELY low and it barely makes the runway on touchdown ... he almost takes-out the fence! He actually "hits" the very edge of the runway on touchdown. I wouldn't have been very happy if i were on that plane!

Amazing! I have been around aviation for a long time and seen some wild stuff but I have never seen a landing like that involving something the size of a 747 that was considered "normal". LOL, guess I need to broaden my horizons.
