Lightning hitting Kennedy's jet.

You really are incredibly stupid. The Vineyard is not on the Cape,
fool

LOL. Mr. Wannabe pilot is now a navigation expert? Martha's Vineyard is
considered part of Cape Cod, dimwit. Hence the phrase "Cape Cod & the
Islands". But once again you miss the point as you always do.


But they were headed for Hyannis which is on the Cape not Martha's Vineyard.
The Kennedy Compound is in Hyannis not the Vineyard.

Most people who fly to Nantucket or the Vineyard would never say they're
going to the Cape nor vice versa. That's why it's Cape Cod _AND_ the
islands. They're 2 distinct entities.

I think he means the particularly onerous noise abatement and the fight over
runway extension.

BDR: what an unbelievable waste of a great resource for Bridgeport to
help
itself crawl out of a decade's old economic abyss, but for the
ratb@$+@rd
neighbors.

????

Bizjets? Are you thinking of OXC instead? They have the hangars.

Only somebody who flew out of BDR would think HVN is a busy place :-)


Everything's relative, right? Before the last commuter airlines beat
feet in '99, Bridgeport was a busy regional airport with three airlines
flying in & out. Now New Haven has the airlines and Bridgeport has 60+
bizjets and NY Helicopters based there. Before the current slowdown in
flight training, students would come over from Westchester & Long
Island to burn up the pattern - drove my pals in the tower nuts.

Ummmm.... well, no, actually. The islanders do *not* consider themselves
part of the Cape-not at all!! It is "Cape Cod & the Islands" precisely
because they are different. Nor are they legally joined in any way.
Mainland Cape Cod comprises most of Barnstable County, while Nantucket is
its own - Nantucket County - as is Martha's Vineyard - The County of Dukes
County [yes, that's the correct construction: the county name is 'Dukes
County']

My news said he was headed to Hyannnis. G

Now they have plenty of time to send $6 invoices to Sundowners who do
one T&G.

Just guessing, but the wx Sat was crap. IFR routing probably took them
south toward HVN, then east over th water toward the Cape. They would need
to avoid both the BDL and PVD approach and departure paths, plus need to
avoid the area between Hartford and PVD, as in this area inbound BOS traffic
is descending to cross PVD at 11K. Add a little tap-dancing around havy
precip, and it wouldn't be strange at all to wind up in HVN. Speculation.


That makes sense.

BDR didn't charge landing fees for T&G aircraft. If it ever happened it
was a mistake as nobody ever paid anyway.

No. When I worked for ops at BDR the based acft list had over 60+ jets
on it. Most were over at Atlantic Aviation & the rest were at PrivatAir

How does it work at fields where locally based aircraft are exempt from
landing fees? Do the guys in the tower just recognize the tail numbers of
every based aircraft?

Years ago I did a T&G or something at TEB (Teterboro). Many months later,
my flying club presented me with a bill for $5 (or whatever it was) for the
landing fee. I figure at least $50 worth of various people's time must
have been wasted collecting that $5. Record the tail number, look it up in
the FAA registry, send out a bill, receive the check, do all the accounting
to show the bill paid, etc, etc. Not to mention the time wasted by my
flying club to go back through their records and figure out who had that
tail number that day so they could route the bill to the right member.
