I didn't figure there was but with the size of your engines I wouldn't have been surprised if there was.
along time ago I saw a picture of a Chinese 747 landing at Hong Kong and burying its right outboard into the ground with the rest of the airplane still airborne. I've never been able to find that pic again but it was a profile view right off the right side. It was... breathtaking.

Here's the Boeing answer to the 777 crosswind landing: Just touch down in a crab!
Makes my arse hurt just watching it, but it seemed to work out ok for them!

And here's a 'real one' being done in NRT, not sure what the winds actually were, but if you watch closely you'll see the windsock, and a NW (DAL) 747 taxiing out as this guy goes by.

It seems all the coments are all directed at the girl, not the crew, which is a nice for a change!
I was thinking about why they haven't installed one of those curved blast fences, but then I saw the one video of the 747 taking off towards the beach, ie. opposite direction of what most of the videos are showing. I wonder if there is some type of a 'clear way' restriction, to putting up a more solid structure there, like a blast fence, for opposite departures?

Here is another "interesting" video that is starting to get some traction.

Hey, all you DL Capts., there are some May lines posted, but you'll have to back-door it. Us the Feb. awards, and in the address bar, where it says FEB/feb change that to MAY/may Presto, your lines may be there waiting for you!
