i saw him come in as i was leaving.. i was just driving back from the west side over there and didnt know what to think of him as he was taxing into atlantic...
According to FlightAware, they came in from Willow Run (KYIP) and departed about two hours later for Memphis. Right now, they are en-route from Memphis to El Paso. I noticed there are no side windows on the jet, and I see an "Active Aero Group" logo on the tail.Quote:

Active Aero Group, through its Active Aero Charter unit, can help your airfreight and a carrier's cargo capacity find each other. The company's online CharterNet service lets shippers list freight for transport so carriers can bid for the business. Active Aero Charter works with some 170 carriers that collectively maintain some 2,000 aircraft of more than 100 types. About a third of the flights brokered through CharterNet are undertaken by Active Aero Group subsidiary USA Jet Airlines, which transports air cargo with a fleet of more than two dozen planes, mainly Dassault Falcon 20s and McDonnell Douglass DC-9s.
Yeah, USA Jet is based at Willow Run (KYIP) out here in Detroit, have some Dc-9's and those Falcons. They also do some PAX charter work.
I've seen their DC-9s here on hockey charters in the past, never knew they had Falcons too. Interesting visitor, to say the least!
I love small cute jets.... Great stuff Moose!!!

In a couple of shots I got of her climbing out (not really good enough to post) you can see on the starboard wing the remnants of her old registration - CN-RMP - from her days with Royal Air Maroc.
Also saw the ExpressJet ERJ the same afternoon.

moose, who was expressjet flying for? are they doing charters?
Not sure, Matt. I've seen that same jet in to FRG a few times before on charter work, but I don't know who they were for.
Here is a quickie from this afternoon!
