“When fully loaded, the Dreamlifter needs a runway 9,199 feet long to take off, CNN said. The Jabara runway is 6,101 feet.”
They’re either going to need to unload it or wait for a very hard freeze.

That’s about a half-mile difference.
Well one thing is for certain, there will be a different PIC for the flight out than there was for the landing.
So apparently they are going to get it up just far enough to head over to original destination 10 miles away. Probably have to tug it back a bit to start...hopefully air will be nice and cool.
