>BTW do they reconfigure the interiors of these charters to make the seating more comfortable for the athletes?[/quote]<
LOL I guess I can kinda answer my own question. Scott Gomez was on ESPN radio this afternoon and when the reporter asked
him about the team being tired from travelling Gomez answered "Well its not like we are sitting in the middle seat" and the reporter laughed and acknowledged he had travelled with the Rangers on their plane and had never,ever travelled in such comfort on a plane
before.
Cablevision must treat their athletes pretty good. :D
When the blue jackets were on our ramp.. the interior of the dc-9 was georgous, had a table, wide leather seats. i thought jetblue was nice at first. this is the way to go!!
So a little birdie happen to tell me that next week i think the turkish 319 is going to be back!.. ohh say on the 13th for the day.. :D..
I was out running around today, and ended up grabbing some lunch and swinging by FRG around 3pm. Just as I pulled in to the terminal lot, I saw this guy rolling out on 32:

I grabbed the camera and got a few shots as they back-taxied and headed down to Atlantic. Turns out it was the Philadelphia Flyers, arriving for Tuesday's matinee with the Islanders.

I was wondering why they were down there all week...I thought it was becasuse of the holiday volume.
Anything goin on tomorrow down at FRG? especially given that it is the Pearl Habor Day.
Yes, there is a ceremony at the American Airpower Museum, beginning at 10:30am, free admission.Quote:

Hope to see some of you guys out there on the line tomorrow, if ya see me give me a shout :borat:
>Playing in the snow...<
Yeah what the heck was that snow about? :lol:
We were in the city for a dinner (Ben & Jacks) for my sister-in-law and when we left the restaurant(9:30) it was snowing
like crazy. Didnt realize it was sticking until the train got into Long Island. Some areas around me got about 3 inches!!!
Looked pretty but where did it come from? Last I heard the crack weather guys had some snow forecast for Sunday!!!
And now today winds will kick up and temps dropping into the teens!!! Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!

other ponds in that area. Pretty windy when I left also (4PM) but a nice sunset.
Yeah, I noticed that when I went past today...

Without a prop, it might as well be a boat, after all he is anchored, LOL! :wink:
Thats pretty funny considering I NEVER NOTICED it didnt have a prop.Quote:

Stopped by yesterday after the movies (Doubt) with my wife and a friend of ours as we had seperate cars and while enjoying my Wendys chicken club watched the Emb N651CT land on One-Four out of the fog. But as they were going to
taxi to the terminal building they informed tower they were having problem with the hydraulics on the nose wheel and were instead going to try and make it over to their terminal in Atlantic. They did as AR-FF Truck 1 followed them in.
I drove over to that area and instead of the nose wheel they were looking at the right wheel instead. When I left a mechanic had arrived and was looking intently at the problem.
One thing for sure, no matter what the weather those EMbraer 120s fly in just about every type of weather.
