The sorts of questions we operators should be asking are

What was the AUW of Air Force One for the landing, the departure taxy and take off and the relevant pavement strengths?

What is/was the assessed extent of damage to the pavements?

Where was the worst damage - runway or taxiways?

If we have to operate into an airfield with a concession what extra precautions are recommended for us to minimise pavement damage.?

Does the extent of damage justify the current media/political reaction or is it a beat up by the avarice airport owner to get Government funded enhancements to his runways.?
