New Home As Event Venue At Area15 District

The newest entertainment district in Las Vegas, AREA 15, announced that cockpit section of the decommissioned Boeing 747 featured at the 2017 “Burning Man” festival is being moved on a flatbed trailer from its storage site to AREA15 and will be repurposed into a nightlife and event venue. The route has been made public and represents an opportunity to capture photos of the move.

The transport is being billed as a spectacle, with the flatbed being followed by a caravan with Henry Chang’s Mr. Fusion art car, along with a repurposed fire truck art car with AREA15 ambassadors in costume.

Transport of the aircraft’s large cockpit section of the fuselage will begin at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway in the early morning of Wednesday February 26 at 7 a.m. for loading, and then departure at 8 a.m. The section to be loaded is fairly sizable: 23 feet wide, 72 feet long, and a little over 16 feet tall.
