Can you land a 767 there?


yes you can.  
 

it was subject to the 3006-11 military base BRAC base closure but kept open because it has an extra long runway that can land big aircraft. It has a reservist air national guard base there and has a weather station.

 

the issue with it since it’s a low commercial airport— how is it’s snow removal equipment and de- icing dtuff.  You can easily bring local snow plows out there and quickly clear the landing strip.  
 

it’s about 2000 feet longer than buffalo.

So if you're the bills, do you fly to Rochester even though it's looking super unlikely they're boarding a bus, or just stay in Chicago?

 

My thought is probably get as close as possible and then figure it out. They can still fly from Roc to Buf if they can fly from Chicago to Buffalo.

Well they can’t fly into Buffalo into Monday morning, whether they do that from Chicago, Rochester or anywhere else.

I have a feeling the Bills get home tomorrow. 

I think the plan is to stay in Chicago tonight.  I think they could probably fly back to Rochester tomorrow.  The airport is about 7 minutes from where I live.  I haven't heard if the state has made any statements about when the Thruway will reopen.

Yeah, they're not driving into buffalo until then either. What insurance company that insures an nfl team and all those salaries is going to sign off on that one exactly?

Quite a few scenes from Planes, Trains and Automobiles were filmed in Western NY 


Really?  As Johnny Carson used to say ‘I did not know that!”
