I understand it was a twin engine oldsmobile.

You are gifted- thanks. I posted originally because I heard a report last week by Lisa Myers who was all over Congress people who fly on aircraft of corporations. The report zeroed in on Senator Frist- at the end of the report Myers had to say that "and this is all legal". The piece was the longest piece on the NBC news that evening and just made me angry..
Looked tonight at Boston Herald website and they had a piece about how Rep. Markey and Delahunt have used corporate flights to "exotic" places with their spouses.
Always upset when it's reported to be a Republican scandal!!

Best laugh of the day!!

I guess you could say the modern day Kennedy curse is he's still in Congress. lol

:)

[FastCoyote]

I heard they coasted in on Teddy's alcohol vapor.

Three words: The Kennedy Curse

There's no such thing as the Kennedy Curse for today's Kennedys - it's more like Kennedy stupidity.

If I'm right about the tail number, FlightAware shows that the strike didn't occur far from Martha's Vineyard. Will the Kennedy's ever learn? Only bad things happen to Kennedys in the waters surrounding Martha's Vineyard!

There's a 2003 photo of N505RP here, when it was owned by a previous owner.

BIG PIG ALERT!

Are you talking about Teddy or the An-124?

Inquisitive minds want to know... :)

I'm a really big fan of the Citation family of jets since I first flew one back in the 1980's. You've got to admire the engineering of modern aircraft that they can take a lightning hit and keep on a-chooglin'.

I agree. Classy.

Imagine what the Kos Kidz would say if it was W.

[JockoManning]

Given that God doesn't need to practice . . . perhaps it was a mere . . . hint . . .

Not that Scuba Teddy would take even plain language on a billboard as useful information . . .

On the other hand . . . maybe one of the reasons he drinks is he can't stang himself any more than rational people can stand him.

Is that possible?

LOL

Perhaps a C5A?

I'm glad I wasn't drinking anything just now, or it'd be all over the keyboard....

[JRandomFreeper]

I wouldn't want to land either.

There he goes again...

Ping Freepers at their best!

I thought it was about the uncle who drowned in a vat of whiskey. His co-workers tried to rescue him three times but he fought them off bravely. :)

[Sacajaweau]

Great job!!

[ItsForTheChildren]

Were we all in before the Zot?

Is that what the stewardess said before takeoff?
