Saba Juancho E Yrausquin Airport on the Caribbean island Saba has the world's shortest commercial runway, only 400 meters (1,312 ft). Only small prop planes are allowed to land there -no jets. So what's the worst that could happen? Swiss001 used a flight simulator to make some test runs on Saba, with results that range from surprisingly okay to disastrous, made quite amusing from his commentary and the fact that no one dies in a flight simulator. -via Digg

Sure, but less like an eagle soaring into the sky and more like an elephant off a diving board.

Kind of looks like launching off an aircraft carrier.
