BW>Greetings, All!
BW>In FLYING magazine, there was an article about a DC-9 that landed

Bill, we used to go into 4800-5000 ft Army strips in the DC9-32F.  We 
had brakes plus reverse and also put it on the numbers.  They were 
probably fast, worried about the touch down, probably had less than full 
flaps, no drag, floated and 7,000ft was the measured distance when it 
was all through.  Of course you know it is variable totally with weight, 
density altitude, wind etc.  Actually a very good short field airplane 
with everything working.
