Great touch on the fin.
Still believe they could need a paint job after the season there..

The plane sits in the middle of the Airport, for all to see, quite a distraction if you are driving by the airport.. the backup or second plane will be housed at Quonset Air Base about 10 miles south...

It is very impressive.. nice touch.

BREAKING NEWS: Gilmore read the wrong itinerary and ended up in coach seating on an unmarked aircraft.

Providence?

Yes, or Warwick to be specific.

BREAKING NEWS: Gilmore read the wrong itinerary and ended up in coach seating on an unmarked aircraft.

More like Gilmore was doing lots of wild finger pointing at lots of different planes for McCourty/Rowe/Butler to head to. When they ignored him he lost track of which plane he wanted to go on and started running wildly and ended up in the luggage chute and missed the flight.

it would be cool to see them later use the plane to bring supplies to Puerto Rico

Theodore Francis Green State Airport, identifier PVD, or more correctly KPVD, to be precise, right?

As a matter of fact yes. And they park it exactly where my mouse cursor is pointing......to be more precise.

Brady sitting next to Matthew Slater...interesting.

Oh no. Perhaps our annual fly pattern incompletion to Slater is in the works.

interesting, not using the GA/transient ramp. Wonder if the plane is too big. Or perhaps they're getting special VIP security measures.

It's a 767 which is much larger than the planes that fly in and out of PVD commercially. Normally it's 737 at the largest there so maybe the gates are not suitable. Not sure about TB, though.

Oh, I'm sure they are. Their charter buses drive in and out on that North end where UPS, Fedex operate and drive right near the planes to load, unload.

Visiting teams also. I happened to see the Chiefs arrive a few weeks ago......shoulda flipped em the bird.

If they used the terminal gates they would have to go through TSA. As a GA flight (pretty sure they'd be operating under Part 91) they do not have to endure that. So a bus to the plane saves immense hassle and time.

The GA ramp might not support the weight of a 767.
