According to my AF pilot buddy a loaded 747 would require 7000 feet to land and 8000 feet to take off. The Presidential 747 may have extra features that allow it to land and take off on a shorter airfield.
When candidate Trump came to Prescott Valley in 2016 Air Trump’s 757 could not land at the local airfield, runway length about 7400. They wound up taking smaller aircraft over.
