Not until next week, and it is in Philly.


Wed & Thur August 6-7 for the combined scrimmages
Sat Aug 9 for the preseason game



Maybe it is a plane that the Eagles use, but is available for charter by anyone else for other purposes on all other days?

Well I would have staked out outside the gate but I find myself on my own plane. Not sure if there were players onboard.

The teams have airline sponsors who have a custom decorated plane used when transporting the team, but are used as normal comercial planes the rest of the time. I've been on the Ravens one before.

Here's the deal: Philly is a big hub for them and they have thousands of employees there.

Us Airways has a Squeelers logo plane, as well as one for AZ Cardinals and Carolina Panthers. Basically where they have a major hubs. Has nothing to do with being the team plane. Most NFL teams charter jets with Delta.

I like how it's nose is near the butt of that American Airlines flight.

The owner (Jeffrey Lurie) of the team uses that plane for business purposes. It's always on the move.
