True, SDG.
I think I realized it when I read about maximum/minimum performace testings for the Boeings.
There was a South African 747-400 that was retired and flown into a small airfield for a museum.
Airfield was 5000 feet long and 150 feet wide, the rear gear of the 747 is about 140 feet wide!
They had the best pilots figure this one out and they performed a record minimum landing, something around 2500 feet long.
There is no video about it that I know of, but the pictures and the story written by the pilots is a jaw dropping experience.
