Hello,

I am really not a poster in this forum, but I thought you might find my picture funny, the jets in the pic are cargo planes, the Sabreliner is part of a pretty large fleet of about 20.

I used to fly in a fractional (B400A) but I really didn't like bizjet aviation, now I fly helicopters.

Only in Mexico

Err no, sorry you are wrong about only in Mexico. When the Mississippi River flooded in the mid 1990 there where two notable airports that where flooded and lost a lot of biz-jets that could not be flown out. The airports flooded where Sprit of St. Louis KSUS and Perryville KK02.

There are pictures of a Jetstar, Lear Jets, Sabreliners and other biz-jets floating around the airport. Some were salvaged and some were scraped out.

There are pictures floating (pun intended) around the inter-net but I can’t find them right now.
