no problem, too bad Kalita had to be running engines huh
Ha ha, it has a Budget rental van backed up to the cargo door, priceless! :D
nwa FOREVER!
Don't remind me!!!!
Although I'm not 100 percent sure the APU was the cause of the distortion. I did miss a better angle because the CKS 747 was in the way though grrrrr. I hope the CKS will be gone tomorrow.

Where did you take that shot from Senga? I presume from VS Cargo
I couldn't find anywhere to get a decent angle on it :-(
A bit disconcerting when you think about what Budget vans have been used for by Saudis in the past. :?Originally Posted by nwafan20
Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9
OUCH!!!!!!A bit disconcerting when you think about what Budget vans have been used for by Saudis in the past. :?
Southwest Airlines-"Once it pop's it's time to stop" Southwest Airlines-"Our Shamu's are almost real" Southwest Airlines -"We blow our top real easy" Southwest Airlines- "You can't top us..... really"
Budget? They probably own the company!
Hell they probably own signatrure AND the RAMP the plane is on!
Mark, All, Since EWR is such an evil airport, please PM any questions you you have about spotting there to me. I'll be more than happy to answer them there.

Ohh, forgot about that. :shock:A bit disconcerting when you think about what Budget vans have been used for by Saudis in the past. :?
nwa FOREVER!
I would say that it was to unload there transportation (the four legged kind) so they can travel in there relative comforts of home... :shock:

Yea too bad they did't paint "SAUDI etc etc etc) above the cargo door where the BUDGET was unloading!.

any Idea who this was? some big oil tycoon just coming to do some shopping?
It was a Ryder truck, and I think most of them were Egyptian, but the point is valid :< Ryder was bought by Budget in 1998, so it's all one company now.
Budget is owned by Avis which was part of Cendant, but is now stand-alone after the Cendant fraud case, but it still remains a public company. Signature is owned by BBA Aviation, a British company. Signature's main rival, Landmark, is owned by the Carlyle Group, which has all sorts of sordid entanglements with Saudi interests. As far as I know, the ramp itself should be owned by the Port, which is a joint agency created and run by New Jersey and New York.
Is the Saudi 727 still there?
Senga
same spot as on Sunday
