Thanks. I know their site and planes but the Challenger is not listed and I have never seen it. That is why i was asking

It could be an error on FA.

Wasnt going to stop by FRG today as I had a number of errands and the weather this morning with the fog was pretty lousy. But my wife asked me to drop off some lunch at her job which is on the way to FRG and the weather was clearing so I figured what the heck. Well I arrived at Sheltair and S76 N99DQ was cranked and headed out to the SW. At the same time I saw what looked like a Bell 407 departing from Atlantic to the SE. Driving over to Atlantic the Talon Air R-44 Clipper came in along Runway 1-9 and a dark S-76, N476CA with one pilot wearing a helmet departed to the NW. They returned soon after, dropped three pax, shutdown then around 1PM they took off from the numbers of Runway 1 out to Bridgeport. Trumps 76 came in from the NW and landed at Atlantic, picked up four pax and quickly out to the SW. And parked by the Atlantic side of Hangar 5 were three Bell 407s. One was in the livery colors of Petroleum Helicopters (N719PH) and the other two were maroon (N62774) and what looked to be black (couldnt read the N #). So some nice helo action for the hour or so I was there.

Today I saw the P-51 old crow, and in the distance I could swear I saw a C-47.

I swung by the area last week, after driving home from LGA...and Challenger 300 - N818KC was parked at the Talon Air Hangar. Now, this used to belong to Summit / JetDirect / Sentient /Jet Direct II (whatever they are now.) Maybe with JetDirect II filing bankruptcy the owners brought the aircraft to Talon. I'm at LGA for another 2 weeks, so, I'm out of the loop as to what's happening at FRG.

Well, considering the Airpower Museum has a C-47, I'm not surprised that you would see one around FRG:

Great info!! Thanks.

I dont think they bought it because it doesnt have the AK tail. I think they are managing it for an accounting firm in the city.
