Please don’t shout! (all caps is shouting)
Was it 2000 UT (universal time) or 2000 local (MDT) time?
Number of engines?
High wing/low wing?
T tail or conventional tail?
Aircraft color?
Nellis AFB is in LV. . . Military or commercial aircraft?
Closest airports to Hurricane that could handle a large aircraft would be KSGU (St. George) followed by KCDC (Cedar City). But if in a SW direction, closest would be KSGU, followed by the aforementioned KLSV and KLAS.
But without knowing the type of aircraft, it would be hard to tell on anything.
