Hurried Departure

[Lindberg]

I just watched this Citation fly over my office after takeoff with gear still down, which was unusual enough to get me to pull up Flightradar. Flight tracking shows no flight plan, and speed/altitude graph suggests no autopilot. Seems like maybe someone was in a huge hurry to reposition somewhere. Just something curious.

Maybe flying on a ferry permit or related maintenance.

Excellent theory, supported by the fact that they only flew 17 minutes and landed at an airport with a shop that brags about being a specialist in Citations.

Maybe Gryder is going to crash it?

Maybe a repo.

Don’t worry! Wagner is onboard and is taking it to “secondary minimums”!
