Chris,
Most of these aircraft seem to be owned by rental or leasing agencies.
It still costs a bundle to travel that way. I can understand well-paid
musical groups traveling that way, such a one that came in last evening
from an appearance in Nashville, then left around midnight for San Jose,
California. What I can't quite understand is how groups of fans can use
these services.

Wealthy types, eh, Jim? Thing is, they have to be able to pay a pilot and the fuel as
well as the servicing on the aircraft – all on top of the price of the purchase.

The Bonnaroo Music Festival is taking place this week outside of Manchester,
TN, just a few miles away. Our airport serves the performers and some
well-heeled attendees, with jet and turboprop traffic coming and going. For
the airport, fuel sales are the highest of any week of the year.
I stopped by after dinner and found three executive jets and one large
turboprop parked near the terminal.
