USA Jets DC-9 @ FRG Again

[T-Bird76]

That USA Jets DC-9 is at FRG again, she's sitting at the Jet Center with no scheduled departure shown. Yours truly didn't bring his camera to work again (before you ask, I'm an ass alright). If you can go check her out she looks right out of the 60's with her livery.

Looks like I have lunch plans now...and I do have my camera in the car, so maybe I'll get to post a few pix later today.

It's tight quarters over by JetCenter:

There was one mostly unobstructed angle however:

Awsome Jon! I stopped down at lunch to take a look see at her. I just really love the way this plane looks. She's still not showing a departure for today I'm hoping she'll still be there in the morning. Although my luck she'll be gone so we'll see what happens. Nice work Jon!

Nice shots Fred, but what the hell where you up on for that last one? That's like a 10 foot fence along there!

FlightAware shows a scheduled departure at 8 pm tonight, heading to Norfolk.

Hey Fred, that's a CR-V, right? A friend here just got one, maybe I can talk her into going spotting with me...

Hofstra played Old Dominion in Norfolk, VA last night, which was where this DC-9 headed. FlightAware shows it returned to FRG last night after the game, so it may still be there this morning. Tommy, did you bring your camera today?

Looks like we also had an MD-81 in for a short (20 minute) stop around midnight.

Ok this is starting to become a joke!!!! I checked last night and saw she left, ok no need to bring the camera she's not there. This morning Mario's calls me and says she's there. So I check and see she's back, talk about banging your head on your desk. Well I guess the good news is if Hofstra is using her for charters she'll be back again.

Hofstra plays Northeastern University in Boston on Saturday afternoon 1/21, so we may see the little DC around the next few days.

Jon do you know what time that game starts? I'm heading into Queens on Sat, might be able to make the side trip to catch her. Weather isn't suppose to be that hot though.

I think it is a 1pm game, so they may be leaving Friday night or early Saturday, probably returning Saturday, although it may be after dark.

Just saw on FlightAware that it's leaving in about 20 minutes - Friday Noon departure to BDL

[T-Bird76]

Maybe that means she'll be on the ramp Sunday morning, if thats the case I'm getting up to get her!! I've been handed this plane three times and have F'd up big time.

As of today (Jan. 20, 2006), JUS191 carried the UCONN men's basketball team from BDL to Louisville and JUS195 will be carrying the UCONN women's basketball team from BDL to Pittsburgh.

Go Huskies!!!! 8)

Since Tommy was sleeping on the job, someone had to upload this one to JP:

Maybe we'll see her back soon, and Tommy will remember his camera this time :D
