Amazing 747SP Landing

While skimming the Airliners.net message boards today I found a thread with a wonderful video of a South African Airways Boeing 747SP landing at a very small airport outside Johannesburg, South Africa. The aircraft is to be used as a static exibit at a museum there. As you watch the video, keep in mind that the runway is about 50 feet wide, and the landing gear width on the 747SP is about 36 feet.

A 747-200 also landed at the airport prior to the 747SP, and you can see pictures of that as well as a narrative by the pilot here.
