He was here to finalize the Airshow information for the 2008 Jones Beach airshow.
When you think about it, who needs a phone, email or fax to finalize plans ;)

I've seen this Citation for a while now at FRG, but usually just poking out between hangars and parked aircraft down on the south side. Finally saw it Thursday out near the fence with nothing in front.

It's painted up in a military-themed paint scheme, which threw me the first time I saw it, thinking it was some military visitor, until I saw the N-number on the engine cowling. The markings on the tail carry out the military theme - 97-0231 - according to the FAA registry, it was built in 1997, and has a Cessna serial number of 0231.

Well that explains the high frequency of sightings for what I thought was a USMC VIP aircraft climbing out of Republic and why I never saw it on the visitor ramp. Cheers Moose.

Moose I take it that it's legal to paint your aircraft to look like it's in the military? I mean, color scheme sure, but down to the military reggie he added...that's taking it a step to far.

If you ever see the guy who owns that and hint his initials are...M.G. Tell him you know of a certain Fedex skipper who he still owes from a rigged game of poker-You just might get a ride!
Re: Today at Farmingdale 2008
Was he ever in the military? Or just a fan.

After about 3 minutes of research I discovered the owner's initials are not MG, but they are the initials of his company's most popular product. Also, he was an F-16 pilot. :)
