Had one of those phone calls I like on Wednesday. A pilot was needed for a Hawker 800 four day trip. Could I do it? Yeah, well that was an easy one.
Anyway, the point is I ended up at KTEB, Teterboro,NJ yesterday. KTEB is the closest airport to Manhattan. Well, there is an economy in this country going on just fine thank you. This place is awash in biz jets. Standing ouside of my plane on the ramp at one of the FBOs there, I literally could not count them all. It is truly amazing. My hotel room window looks out at the Manhattan skyline and at short final for one of the runways. The jets were landing constantly at 2 minute intervals.
I hope this is kind of a leading indicator because the money flowing at this airport is quite impressive.
(I'd post a picture but I see no way to do that posting from an iPad.)
