The story hit the news tonight. Interesting to see east comes of this.
My initial information spears there is fault in 3 areas...
1. Fargo should know what flights are scheduled and when. Given the flight distance in travel they could easily see where this plane is located snd alter the blue angels training accordingly.
2. Vegas ATC should have known that Fargo was going to close so if there was a traffic volume delay they could have given Allegiant priority in taking off.
3. aAllegiant should have known this closure and altered it's flight plan to give them more buffer than 12 minutes yo land before the airport closed. Other option given the long notification they should have changed flight schedule where it is scheduled to land when the airport opens up. Once the plane lands it wouldn't be able yo take off.
