If Ozzy can do it with room to spare in an An-225, why can't you do it in a Lear? :P

I did it with no flaps, no spoilers. that is a quick plane because it is a slick design, not because of power. thrust reversers aren't as powerful as an-225.

And... you were pretty damn hot. Dunno what your speed was over the fence, but 159 KIAS is a bit hot for even a long, shallow final.
A steeper, much slower approach would have worked better.

OK... I'll shut up until I do better... haven't flown any jets in there, just the DC-3. ;D
