Not quite like an aircraft carrier. Don't see the fantail of this thing bobbing up and down,

 

New airport runway on  the Portuguese  island of  Madeira   The airport's runway has a length of 2781 meters, (9000 ft) of  which 

 1000 > (3000) are supported by 180 pillars, each pillar 50 meters in length  (about 17 floors). The runway is designed  to accommodate 747s. Note the  cars parked below the  runway.

 

It's a bit like landing on an aircraft carrier.  The 2nd picture best shows how high it is -- and let's not even think about running off that runway!
