In Seattle, I've seen MAX'es headed to Hawaii and Iceland use substantially more runway than 787's and 777's flying substantially further, so I'd imagine that a v1 cut or zero flap landing gets really interesting in those situations.

The 787-10 also definitely gets your attention. When I saw one at a gate at LAX it definitely stands out.

Heavy -800 and -900s have vrefs that are faster than an average 747-400 or -8 landing speed. That thing flys fast on final. Also check the DC8-62 for a loooooooong stretch from the original

CRJ-1000 gets a vote from me. Technically a CRJ-200 stretch. 39.1m long, vs the original at 26.8m.

The CL-600-2E25 is a CL-600-1A11 stretch. This is as accurate as saying a 737 max 10 is a 737-100 stretch aka 100% the truth legally. edit: two challenger 600s:

Turns out I know a guy that was part of LASS aerostat on Kuwait/Iraq border - TCOM 71M in 199x. Straight away I thought of the thread, but he is 100% nope no stories, was a poo poo time for his family and doesn't want to relive. Mentioned Khobar Towers so not going to press for info.
