What is this a "waffle House" owned plane? I mean REALLY? you're gonna bring someone to your muli-million dollar plane for a business retreat or private get away. I guess it better be dark outside......otherwise i would be really embarrassed. I mean REALLY?
Look at the tail..I think it says NIRD..as in Nerd! No wonder the paint job.

This airplane is listed by FAA as a Gulfstream V. Year of manufacture 2001. It looks to me like a Zenith CH-70001. What the hell is that?

Fairchild C-123 Provider. Gave valorous service in Vietnam while being flown by military pilots, including some military pilots wearing shorts and "Hawaiian shirts" and no military dog tags.

"Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?" Delta Junction Eh? You think one of those Russians was going to make a restaurant out of it? Somehow missed that. There's a nice Howard at Glennallen though. Wouldn't be proper to post it's picture in this thread.
So military pilots out of uniform. Had to be Marines. Dropping troops in the trees?
