A visitor from - posted Thu December 15, 2011: Landing on the 1's happens, but rarely, maybe 3x a year for an hour or two each time. The issue isn't the runway length, but rather the terrain on final. The approach is flown to the 28s then at the bridge circles south to line up for the 1's, usually 1R. (very similar to Kai Tak). The 777 is a big aircraft to fly this as many heavies will opt to still land 28 even with a very stiff crosswind. The 777 appears a bit high, but with some way to go so no danger with the departing bus. Probably did a wide turn (being a larger aircraft), so had to stay higher to avoid the hills (from where the photo was taken). With such a stiff headwind to warrant landing on the 1's though, runway length is not a problem.

A visitor from United States posted Mon October 17, 2011: The Zoom in this camera makes the runway look short but in fact the shortest Rwy at sfl is 7,500 ft. and the longest is 11,870, for comparison LGA (La Guardia NY) longest runway is 7,003 ft. Nice picture !! I bet if there was another plane behind the one that took the picture from you could see all 3 planes aligned. Daniel Zubia

A visitor from Netherlands posted Wed September 15, 2010: Agreed, the zoom plays on you and the runway is fine too, of course. But what comes up in my mind is that they might have a little problem if the T7 on the runway has to abort its take-off. The incoming one will be considerably close(r) to the runway.
A visitor from - posted Thu June 18, 2009: Looks like the runway is soooooo short...
A visitor from - posted Wed June 10, 2009: Whoa i din't know airplanes could even land on the 1 runways. Arent those two runways a little too short?
A visitor from United States posted Fri February 27, 2009: The triple 7 on final still has a ways to go and the departing aircraft is already past taxiway G. By the time the 777 crosses the threshold, the departing aircraft will be well beyond 6000' and airborne (the minimum required).
A visitor from United States posted Wed December 17, 2008: Amazing ! I also wonder if the 777 went around ?
A visitor from United States posted Mon November 3, 2008: Kool pic!
A visitor from Finland posted Sun August 17, 2008: I would prefer go around
A visitor from Maldives posted Tue April 29, 2008: Itx really cool hey if u r in my country take some of those cool pics am from maldives
A visitor from United States posted Tue November 27, 2007: Did the 777 perform a go-around? That looks awfully close to the jet taking off, even cosidering it's taken with a zoomed lense.
A visitor from United States posted Wed April 11, 2007: Fantastic perspective. love being able to see entire runway from massive zoom lens and taken almost from final approach
A visitor from Portugal posted Wed January 24, 2007: Great pic. Love the grayness. How did you get that pic? It looks like if it was tanken from a movie...
A visitor from Brazil posted Thu December 21, 2006: One of the best photo I've ever seen! Congratulations! 5 stars!
