Nightingale 0 #3 June 11, 2008 Apparently there are some FAA and repair issues going on with the jet. I've heard it is not currently operating, but will be at some undetermined point in the future. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

simplyputsi 0 #8 June 12, 2008 QuoteWith current fuel prices I dought you will ever see it on the east coast. They could make it work and here is how. How many west coast skydivers would like to go to skyfest?? Ok, sign up here, put down a non-refundable deposit for your roundtrip ticket and the jet leaves this day and comes back this day at these times. The charge for the roundtrip could be less, way less than a commercial flight. So you get skydivers over to a boogie they might not have been able to make, you get the jet there as well. Question is will it make money there? Million dollar question right there.Skymama's #2 stalker - Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That should do it. I do have a C130, AN2, DC9, DC3, Pitts...hmmm what else?, that is much closer to S Carolina if anyone cares. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
