Oh that's sad to hear. They were always an enjoyable visitor to JFK.

Yea, I remember when they had a fairly strong presence at JFK

I have met their CEO several times, tuff break for their employee's. Hopefully the downward price of oil will minimize further shutdowns, I actually saw regular gas for $3.99 a gal in Queens last night.

It's sad when you get excited about that, isn't Ron? I've paid $3.99 the last couple of fill-ups, and it's strange that it feels like a "good thing".

Sorry to hear about Gemini, I feel for the folks involved. The airline industry isn't the easiest place to make a living, and these days it's tough all around.

Broke my heart when I heard this news. Gemini has always had problems, even when fuel was a $1.25 a gallon...

i bought avgas for under $6 a gallon yesterday too (got close to $7 for a while there too), and got $20 off a rental car too!

Looks like there is a Gemini MD-11 scheduled to take off from SWF at 3:00pm for GYR. That'd be a nice catch, although I don't wish I was home!

I found two of my old shots of Gemini's MD-11s at JFK
