OT: Michigan logo plane in Nantucket

Submitted by TheDirtyD on

Saw this when I flew into Nantucket this morning... Anyone vacationing here? Can't be anyone recruiting.. I love overnighting here. Had to ask very rarely do I see Michigan planes.

My friend used to fly a private jet for a local guy out of Willow Run in a plane that looked like that.  The owner had a place in Nantucket where my friend would occasionally need to stay (in a guest house) while the owner vacationed.  The same friend is the guy that flew me over the Big House so I could get the pic in my avatar.  My guess is this plane belongs to my friend's former employer and doesn't have anythign to do with the school.

This is the creepiest board post ever.

Recap...

Interesting, M plane in Nantucket ---> use of banned-M, probably not an official U of M plane ---> local guy has a similar plane, flys out of Willow Run ---> does business in California ---> flight tracker

I work at ACK in Airport administration, and live here year round.  Let me know if you need any advice for handling the Island over the 4th.  And if you flew in on that Global, I'd love a tour! Noah 508-901-1175.

As for the rest of the board, I saw this Citation land, but didn't get a chance to talk with the pilot or passenger(s).  A lot of these corporate jets are also fractional ownership, so it could just be some random guy. 

What was funny is that just two days, parked next to it on the ramp was a Falcon trijet with a Cleveland Browns logo.

We are moving and widening Delta for better access to the South GA ramp in the fall, and we are looking at plans for building a parallel taxiway to 15/33 with high speed exits (pipe dream).  There's not much point in widening Echo/Fox Trot  - wingtip clearance to parked aircraft on the South Ramp or incursion into the 6/24 safety area is the prohibition there.

What are you on?  If you're overnighting, are you flying the Dash 8?

The Tail is N868EM, for anyone who wants to plane stalk.

For MGOSpeculation sake, The M jet, Browns jet, and Secretary of State's DC-9 were all on the tarmac at the same time that Bill Belichick and Ben Stiller were on island.
