Plane "needs" 9,000 feet to take off or land. Runway is 6000 feet.

They had to drive a tug on city streets to the airport to turn the barge around.

A special crew was flown in to handle the take off.

Jabara’s runway length is 6,101 feet – almost half the length of McConnell’s runway. There were skid marks at the end of the runway where the Dreamlifter stopped at Jabara, which is near 37th Street North and Webb Road.
