Honestly that would be a reasonable alternative. It has a long runway for the air force so it can accommodate big planes and it's not a very busy airport. Then charter a few buses to get them down to jfk.

It trusted Dutch’s plan. The plane just wanted to go to Tuheetee to pick mangoes with the van der Linde gang.
