... having to unload a 737 to depart ...

If you ever fly into C02 (Lake Geneva Wisconsin)the approach end of 23 was torn up (there may have been a displaced threshold). The story was that Hef managed to talk them into landing the Bunny Jet there -- Lake Geneva used to be one of the Playboy Clubs.

Apparantly after realizing their poor judgement they had to tear out seats, maybe offload fuel and wait until a cool early morning to blast it back off.

The legend was that is why the runway surface was pocked up at one end -- from the heavy jet landing.
