    The Dolphins are soon to be the NY Dolphins?

    Ok, as I mentioned, they were hear last week, why do you think they were here?

    And I, I took the path less traveled by
    and that has made all the difference......yet...
    I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.

    I have a shot of the same plane last year over at the jetcenter...the owner was probably visiting NYC?
    The three most common expressions in aviation are, "Why is it doing that?", "Where are we?" and "Oh Crap".

    Huizenga

    You beat me to the punch. He does have a whole subfleet of airplanes.

    I'll bet he's glad he sold Blockbuster Video :) then again....did he?

    His FLL based fleet includes a BBJ, 737-200 (recently photographed in HEL,AMS and MAN) the G4 in Mario's photo, and my favorite, a Twin Otter on Floats. His Hangar is on the north side of 9L-27R at FLL opposite the parking garauge. When the doors are open you can see his imaculate fleet inside !

    Yes, he sold it to Viacom in 1994 for $8.4 BILLION. Today, Blockbuster's market value is only somewhere between $500 and $800 MILLION.
