I am curious about what large aircraft there have been at small airports.
for me I saw a dl 767-300 at pvd going to atl in feb 03 and I cheacked and they have these flights sometimes and are not rare but they stll mostly have the 757s there
There's an AA 767-200 on its way to MCI from JFK as i type, pretty common these days (prob. for maintenence), and we're not really small airport (90 gates), but totally under served. I know DL flies 762/3 into MSY as well, which isnt the biggest airport, and also PBI and FLL (which arent HUGE, but have high pax volume). And you cant forget the Corsair, Airfrance, and KLM 747's into SXM!!!!
The largest at a really small airport was probably the AN-225, when it flew into Linz-Hörsching airport on 23 March 2003. The tail of the AN-225 was almost as high as the tower building!

Wow, spectacular. But this means the AN-225 is still flying. I always thought it had been grounded for financial reasons...

I had mentioned in an earlier thread, AC DC-8-61 at YYJ (Victoria, BC) which took off from a 6000 foot runway for a 39 mile flight to YVR.

In the past Northeast use to fly DC-8's in and out of ISP to FLL. The runway at the time was only 5800 feet long. Those birds used every foot of runway to take off.
Well I don't know if Kai Tak would count. It was more a large number of aircraft at a small airport. It was impressive how that rather small (area-wise) airport could handle the large air traffic to and from Hong Kong day in and day out. I remember a bit about the old place, it was always packed!
We have a wide body every few weeks here at Fort Drum, usually whenever our troops are being deployed. This week alone we have had 3 C-5s, 2 C-17s, a 777, and a DC-10. Our rarest visitor was Air Force One, which landed here about a year ago. it was amazing. :O
