DC Tom Posted September 23, 2018 Posted September 23, 2018 They land that at Buffalo-Niagara International? I always thought the runways weren't long enough.
Marv's Neighbor Posted September 23, 2018 Author Posted September 23, 2018 No, but 747's are getting very rare to see. I'd like to know how the seats are configured. Wouldn't want to have to clean it after they all leave. 1

Marv's Neighbor Posted September 23, 2018 Author Posted September 23, 2018 It won't be that heavy, unusually light fuel load, and not that many passengers/cargo.

zow2 Posted September 23, 2018 Posted September 23, 2018 Between preseason action and the Chargers coming in, BUF airport has seen 9 - 747’s this season so far. Pretty cool. They are using Atlas Air this year. The main runway is long enough for the amount of passengers, luggage and fuel that the 747 needs for an NFL charter. If it was a fully loaded and fueled flight to Asia, then too short of a runway.
machine gun kelly Posted September 23, 2018 Posted September 23, 2018 They kind of have to get that size plane, because, it’s not only the players and coaches, but members of the media, and other staffers.
