My daughter just got home from NYC, where she graduated from fashion college, coming back to TX to get ready to start her new job.

She just popped out with this news.... Jimmy's Cessna is now part of a charter airline...!!!!

Has anybody reported the new news that Jimmy's Cessna is now part of a charter service?? His plane is said to operate from the East River to the East End... (NY, Hamptons)

Other Whale craft operate in the Caribbean...

Didn't Jimmy buy a much newer Cessna and transfer tail number N208JB to it a while back? Or am I dreaming? Looks like they just shaved the botton loop of the "B" off. N208JP is registered to Underhill Holdings.

Fly the Whale must have the 1998 Cessna that Jimmy owned. He bought a new Cessna in 2009 and did eventually transfer over the N208JB to the new plane. Here is a picture of the new Cessna at the West Palm Beach airport taken by my friend John on May 11, 2011. There certainly is not much difference in how they look outwardly. But I am sure that all our pilot members will be able to tell the difference.

It's only $495 one way. I live on LI, if I want to hang out with a bunch of posers I can drive to the Hamptons.

$495. I noticed that and I'm with you. Good grief! I mean what's the point? Just to say you flew in one of Jimmy's old planes?

Now Debbie, if Jimmy was offering short trips for that price on one of his current planes with him as the pilot I may consider the fee if he was willing to yuck it up with us a bit.

The people who have places in the Hamptons can afford teh $495 one way.
And they probably don't care that it's Jimmy's old plane. [smilie=battingeyes.gif]
