An hour stay and heading back. It sounds definantly like picking someone up.


Either that or interviewing someone for 30-45 minutes.


Where? In the men's room at BWI?

Considering pf.com's batting average on this whole thing, Ford's plane is probably just headed up there to pick up some fresh fish for a party he's having tonight.


But I do love the fact that we can see that the plane is 20 minutes into the flight with 2 hours and 4 minutes left.

Didnt the Annapolis paper say that Johnson was flying to Atlanta today, to meet with his agent? Will he be back before Ford's plane lands? Why not pick him up in Atlanta. if that's what this is?

For what it's worth, that same plane went to Austin yesterday, was in New Jersey on November 30, and San Diego on November 27.

Maybe, just maybe, he was in Austin interviewing Mack Brown, after he decided the Rutgers coach wasn't right for SMU.

San Diego? The only thing I can think of is Tony Gwynn. Are we reviving the baseball program?

If it is like most private jet hangars, there is a reception area and conference room area for just such occasions.

The route looks to be labeled "DALL8 TXK J42 MEM J42 BKW J147 CSN OTT6"

I think the previous flight for this plane was the one that looked like "navys dumpy"

Often times administration or owners (see Jerry Jones) conduct interviews onboard the plane and then leave immediately following.It's a discreet tactic to keep media away and provide an efficient face to face...

Don't you think his agent would fly to meet him?? I would if I wanted a % of his cash money

I love it.

Who would like to take credit for thinking to check out-going flights? I think this is a quite breathtaking piece of fan investigation.

I will now keep my eyes fixed on Ford Stadium, which I can see out my window for signs of activity...perhaps a tour in progress.

Looks like he's leaving Love Field at 12:30 CST today, arriving at Baltimore at 3:56 CST, and heading back to Love Field immediately at 4:00 CST.

This plane is registered to "Diamond A Administraction Company, LLC". Can anyone confirm that this is related to Ford?


Gerald J. Ford. Ford is chairman and CEO of the Diamond A Ford Corporation, an investment firm in Dallas.


Correct. Deal is done.
