Hey! I checked out that Hooters Air article. Here it is below. Maybe we could arrange to shuttle the Nigerian Scam Artist around the country on Hooters Air? He would definitely think I was a Hooters big shot if I could arrange his air transport on Hooters Air:

ATLANTA, Feb. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Hooters of America, Inc. today announced that its aviation partner Hooters Air will begin flight operations on March 6, 2003. Hooters Air One, painted in the orange and white colors of the famous restaurant chain with Hooters Air graphics and the Hooters owl "Hootie" on the tail, will take its inaugural flight with ticketed passengers from Atlanta to Myrtle Beach, S.C., at 3:20 p.m. Initially the airline will provide service only to these two cities. Additional flights and cities will be added soon with service from Newark, N.J., to Myrtle Beach through Atlanta to commence March 20. Hooters Air ticket prices are set at a flat rate of $129 one-way. Reservations can be made at www.hootersair.com or by calling 1-888-FLY-HOOT (1-888-359-4668).

"I am excited that something I have worked towards for many years is about to take place," said Hooters of America chairman and Hooters Air owner Robert H. Brooks.
