What about the power dam in the area? That would be a more likely target!

Hoover Dam would laugh at an impacting aircraft. At the top the concrete is 45 ft thick, at the bottom 660 ft thick.

This is an entirely different type of structure than a skyscraper. It is meant to hold back the hydrostatic force of the water behind it, and it is much stronger than any building.

Plus Nellis airforce base is in the area. They'd be really stupid to try to fly near!
