A 747-8i Landing at TNCM....That would be one helluva thrill



























PMDG 747-400X plus the 747-8i Extension

747-400X

Nominating the second one.

I like the last one a lot too.  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

I agree!

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?

[ShaneG_old]

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.

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.  )

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

[XxRazgrizxX]

ya, i cant find any info either, thats why i wondered if anyone here on simviation knew.

Lots of info in that document! 

Runway operating characteristics are same as or better
than the 747-400

... 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

if you can do it in the sim...

That second shot is great!

[Splash64]
