WICHITA, Kans. - A Boeing jet is sitting on the runway at Wichita's Jabara Airport - and may be stuck there for awhile.

Witnesses say a Boeing 747 LCF Dreamlifter landed at Jabara Wednesday night. The cargo plane may be there by mistake, but FAA officials have yet to confirm details.

KAKE News has confirmed Boeing is sending a tug to Jabara Airport to turn around the jet. But the tug can only travel ten miles per hour, so the process may take several hours.

Several people tell KAKE News the Dreamlifter is too large for the Jabara runway. It also may be too big for Jabara's 6,100-foot runway.

The Wichita Airport Authority tells KAKE News it is assembling a "packet of information" for the media, concerning what happened.

The jet reportedly is owned Atlas Air of Purchase, New York.

Wichita emergency crews say they were not sent to the airport, so apparently no one was injured in the landing.

This is a developing story; watch for updates as we get them.

That's an 1800m runway - that will be a very interesting takeoff I suspect!
