If the helicopters need it, is there somewhere to land it there? Or do we need what's the closest? This would be a good spot.

Not quite on location yet. May be able to land up here, but if not, closest would be the Joliet ball field.
03:17
All right.

In case it's not landable there, you want me to tell Joliet to stay in their station, in case we do that?
