Word has it that John McCain was so happy with his chartered JB aircraft that they are now chartering one for Sarah Palin to do her campaigning . Sooo. be on the lookout for a Jetblue AC with McCain-Palin on the sides.

I had heard she was getting a B6 E-190, probably be the first time a B6 aircraft has ever visited her home airport of JNU (Juneau, Alaska) which BTW is a beautiful airport to fly into IMO.

I wonder if B6 has ever been to her home state, Alaska?

Interesting they choose to use non-Boeings for their campaigns. Especially when their convention speeches focused on using American products (yes, I know Jet Blue is an American company based in "cosmopolitan" New York City) for American jobs. I don't actually care but irony is always fun in a trivial way.

I wonder how George Soros feels about Palin using a JetBlue plane...

I wonder if that's painted on there or if it's just a sticker?

Actually she wont be flying on that plane. They (Rep.) stated that this is support plane just for their staff and press to follow them around.

The flights she is on will not be trackable so this is not her. Like Rafal said this must be press flights, staff, or a repositon. She will be flying under the Tyson callsign like Mccain and Obama.

That's interesting Bill. MSNBC showed her getting off the "jetBlue" aircraft in Alaska. Maybe that was a one time deal?

The Obama and McCain flights used to be trackable, but they were eventually blocked. They probably didn't get a chance to block Sarah yet.

On another note, does the TYSON callsign stand for anything, or is it just some random callsign they came up with?

I heard Obama used the TYSON08 callsign even last year when he was flying in a G-II owned by some Bishop.

TYSON is not random. It is a government callsign. I know more, but can't share. neener neener.
