"The link at the bottom has a cool video of the retirement flight/last landing of a 747SP in South Africa, being delivered to a very small museum airstrip......the runway was only 48 feet wide!

If you have speakers, crank them up...great music to go with it!!"

Runway is narrow. Thanks for the link. Colin

Lots of sand and dirt about. Great video, thanks for sharing.
