Okay.

See my post #40: "It's not in our logs ... it didn't occur,'' said Chris White, spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration's regional office in Atlanta."

Did your search turn up any explanation for this flight and why the FAA denied it took place?

The links you provided pointed to news stories about the shuttling of aircraft that the commercial airlines did after the FAA lifted the nationwide TFR, but did nothing to address the subject of the news article which is the subject of this thread.

Instead you seem to be saying that the shuttling of aircraft by flight crews that took place after 11am with commercial service resuming on an extremely limited basis later in the afternoon explains the flight of the Lear carrying Saudi royalty from Florida to Kentucky.

Did the FAA deny that any other flight occurred that day?

Did they correct as a mis-statement the quote of their spokesman, Chris White?

Did Chris White himself correct himself, saying that their review of their logs showed that the Lear flight did take place?

No, I don't seem to be saying that. I was addressing the other issue--the claim by the Moores and others that all other flights were grounded and these flights (which certainly has been discussed ad nauseum since September 2001) were the only ones in the entire U.S. to be airborne.

There are several aspects of the tale that are being wielded to imply the Bush administration did something wrong or is hiding something. They didn't. I didn't have to search about reasons for the flight, it's long been explained. They were gathered in a central location and at a later date left the country. Three years later and despite the implications some try to throw around, there has been no evidence any terrorists or sympathizers were allowed to leave.
