H0ly cr4p Amazing how a decent zoom lens compresses a runway. But that's taking nothing away from the pilots' efforts - even if he did touch down prior to the threshhold!!

Just shows what a great machine the 757 is............
The aeroplane can be landed at MLW of 90 tonnes in ISA zero wind conditions, with a ground roll of about 2500 feet using max autobrake...do a 45 minute turn around, and depart off 4500 ft of runway at 105 tonnes..and fly 2500nm
What a machine...we do similar things going into the islands of Samos, Mikonos, and Skiathos in Greece.
Heres what its like from the inside
