OK, let me explain further re towing and a few other things.

Sure, any aircraft could be towed across runways, taxiways, roads etc. However, knowing KLAS intimately, and as one who responded to the incident last month, it would be impractical primarily because of possible FOD issues.

As mentioned previously, that hangar is a private hangar and I cannot imagine that Sheldon Adelson would consider moving any of his aircraft to take a 777 for several months inside.

Second, there is plenty of space on the cargo ramp and if you don't have to move it far, or at all, then why move it to the other side of the airport?

Never even mentioned KMIA! Working outside at KLAS right now and going in to December is just as pleasant as KMIA Wind would obviously be a concern and we get plenty of that.

Yes, they have been talking about tie-downs and drilling in to the concrete of the ramp!

No action as of yet - other than cleaning teams the past few days.
