Flights, Other Info

Post by huskerpony »

N46F Hunt plane returning from Scottsdale

Gerald Ford's plane is still sitting in the Carribean


Only flight I can find from Love Field to New Orleans in the past week (it’s been all over the place though and no return flight) :

N464QS

SALAMANDER SERVICES LLC
OKLAHOMA CITY, OKN464QS (details)

(Although, if the SMU delegation was meeting with him in NOLA this morning and not giving him a ride anywhere, they may not be on a booster plane.)

Didn't see anything else suspicious leaving Love Field this week at all.



This could be the Hawaii team plane:

HAL1017 Honolulu Intl (PHNL) Wed 11:50AM CST Wed 04:29PM HST




JJ’s agent is out of Newport Beach:


“Leigh’s firm maintains offices in Newport Beach, California. He resides in Newport Beach with his wife Lucy and their three children.â€

This kind of stalking helped kill the PJ deal.

No it didn't. Getting an offer from a better program that is in a BCS conference killed the deal...

All schools have crazies that track planes and what not. LSU fans by the dozen were tracking planes when we thought Les Miles was leaving...If anything, it shows that you have a core group of fans that do, in fact, care...

Interesting that's he heading to DFW instead of Love Field. Might be nothing, but who knows.

Unless he needs to fly commercial to Hawaii. What's the range for a plane like N844GF?

Or maybe he wants to meet someone who's flying commercial into DFW.

That particular plane went from NJ to Paris, which is 3,800 miles. Dallas to Honolulu is about the same distance.

According to wikipedia, the range for a Gulfstream IV is 4,872 miles.

He's already flying half of that distance to fly from Saint Martin to DFW, so if he is going to Hawaii for June then he would have to refuel.

Nice guess. It's 3,795 miles according to this site.

Seems to me that if he were to refuel, he would do so at his "home" airport.

Maybe he is meeting someone. Of course, it would be tens of thousands cheaper to fly to love and drive to DFW than it would be to land at DFW and pick somebody up and have the plane and pilot fly to Love.
