747 @ KLAL

SAW A PHOTO OF WESTERN GLOBAL AIRLINES BOEING 747 AT KLAL YESTERDAY. DROPPED IN FOR A CREW CHANGE AND CHECKRIDE I GUESS. DIDN’T REALIZE THIS AIRPORT WAS CAPABLE OF HANDLING A 747.

Rwy 9/27 is 8.499 ft, which is plenty for a 747 in most conditions. It might be slightly weight restricted in adverse conditions, but on the flight you describe it would have no issues. the 747-400 has better short field performance than a lot of people expect as long as it’s not loaded to the gills.
