Great pictures...Richmond's runway is definitely long enough to land planes like 747's and 777's. I can remember in the mid 90's the AN-124 landed at Richmond to take a large shipment of tobacco from Philip-Morris back to Moscow. The problem was that it was such a risky landing for a plane that big that it took the AN-124 at least 10 tries to finally land (I remember seeing it fly over my neighborhood multiple times that day). Richmond also handled the USAF C-5 Galaxy which used to land at Richmond on a monthly basis when the National Guard was stationed there and that plane is about the same size as the AN-124. Runway length is not a problem for landing planes if we need to handle them; the problem is that our runway length is only 9,000 feet where most airports that handle jumbo jets on a regular daily basis are at least 10,000 feet. But I still think we should build another runway at KRIC that's at least 10,000 feet, that'd be great.
