It seems like the media is trying to turn this into a bigger problem by quoting the 9100 foot minimum runway length for maximum takeoff weight and a 6100 foot runway.

We can't tell if this is a real problem or not because we don't know if it has any cargo on board. The plane only needs to fly a few miles to the Air Force base, so draining the fuel tanks may be all that is required to lower the minimum takeoff distance to below the runway length at this airport.

It had a 787 fuselage in it.
