The largest art car at Burning Man, a partially reassembled 747 airplane, remains parked on the Black Rock Desert two weeks after the event.

The plane was moved further into the hard-packed playa about 12 miles away from the Burning Man site, said Rudy Evenson, acting communications chief of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management in Nevada. The BLM manages the Black Rock Desert, a National Conservation Area, where 80,000 people gather every year in a temporary encampment called Black Rock City.

Evenson said the owners of the plane need to apply for a new permit to move the airplane now that Burning Man is over. All art projects fall within the Burning Man organization's recreation permit, but that has since expired.

"It was moved off the event site without BLM authorization. So its legal status is in trespass with unauthorized use," Evenson said of the plane's location on public land. "Bottom line is, we’re evaluating options for getting rid of it."

Ken Feldman, CEO of Big Imagination Camp, which built the airplane over the course of four years and shipped it to Burning Man, said they plan to move it to permanent, private location nearby.

Feldman did not disclose the future storage site "for obvious reasons," he said.

“We do have people watching it right now," he added. "Making sure no one molests the project."

It was shipped more than 500 miles to Burning Man from the Mojave Airport and Space Port in southern California each year. But Big Imagination Camp wants to keep it closer to the playa for future Burning Man events.

The top half of the 747's nose first appeared at Burning Man two years ago as a stationary art piece. Since then, the jet body has been mostly reassembled and outfitted as an open-air nightclub and "mutant vehicle" that was towed around Black Rock City during Burning Man, Aug. 26 through Sept. 3.

Throughout the week of Burning Man, about 5,000 people walked through the almost 40-foot tall airplane, Feldman said.

"At some level, it’s crazy. What we did was totally nuts," he said of transporting a 747 fuselage to the remote desert. "There’s absolutely no reason to do it and that’s all the reason to do it.”

He said about 500 volunteers helped construct the vehicle and about 1,000 people helped fund it.

“Our measure of success for this year was: could we get it there, assemble it, move it around safely once, then put it into storage," Feldman said. "If we could do that, it’s a win."

Evenson said Big Imagination Camp's current challenge is moving the airplane from its temporary parking spot to its full-time storage on private property nearby.

"There’s no road between the playa and this piece of private property where they’re proposing to put the vehicle," he said. "And that’s part of the National Conservation Area so you can’t build a new road."

The terrain between its current location and the storage property is uneven, making travel difficult for the airplane that's pulled by a tug vehicle, Evenson added.

Feldman wants to avoid disassembling the airplane and removing it in pieces the way it arrived. The arrival required Nevada Department of Transportation, Nevada Highway Patrol and NV Energy to escort the fuselage, disconnect power lines and close roads.

“I think right now everything is on the table as far as removing it," Evenson said. "Obviously our preference would be for the vehicle owners to take care of it."

The Burning Man organization must work with the BLM to return the playa to its original condition, leaving no trace of the event. The Burning Man organization did not immediately return requests for comment.
