Charter flight from Longview, Texas now headed to Teterboro, NJ; if you are booked on this flight, you might talk to your travel agent, "Perla", on what the deal is with the itinerary change.

I still see GED (Delaware Coastal Airport) on the books.

A little pricey if you are a migrant with no money, looks like a restaurant at the airport if you have a craving for a BLT or Fish and Chips. arenasdeliandbar.com/locations/geor…

Georgetown, Delaware apparently has a Guatemalan grocery store (along with a number of other mercados), who knew?!

Looks like a greeting party at Teterboro for that plane (unknown if that plane has passengers, though).

Hmm, pizza place in town there named after a fictional organized crime family, LOL. "Leave the gun, take the cannoli"

Reportedly no passengers:

Anyway, a bunch of crew members getting a welcome anyway. I wonder if they give leis in NJ like they do in Honolulu?

1940's touristy tradition from Hawaii, that lei greeting thing.airports.hawaii.gov/hnl/services-a…

Teterboro is the fractional jet capital of the world. Say hello to the investment bankers as you walk through the terminal, folks!

Plane was empty, btw.

By the way, it's fun to build your own #ADSB receiver so you can monitor what planes are flying over your location; you can use it to feed many (many) public services so everyone else can see what planes are flying too: flightradar24.com/build-your-own

Flightawae's ADS-B USB dongle is pretty good if you are ONLY looking to monitor aircraft and not other things.
