Default Laconia Jets?

We saw what we think is the biggest jet we have ever seen heading toward Laconia last week, Wed (?). We wondered if it was Romney. We love watching what we call the Net Jets coming in.

Has anyone ever chartered a flight from Laconia to a distant part of the country, like Fl., Texas, Ca.? Would love to hear of your experience or any information, if so.

You're probably right. We drove past his Wolfeboro house on the boat and saw a lot of security and what looked to be him on a porch.

Wednesday was probably Carlos Santana, he played at Meadowbrook. Nascar races and Meadowbrook artists seem to drive the most extra jet traffic. I sleep pretty much at the end of the runway on weekends.

The Coast Guard was out there on Friday evening too, we saw them leave the town docks in Wolfeboro. I'm sure he was in town.

I agree, it seems that way to us too.

I heard it was Shirley McClain doing a movie up at Castle in the Clouds. But who knows.

The jet landed 30 minutes before the Santana concert started. It left 30 minutes after the Santana concert ended. It probably was some one else.

I hate to get to shows early and like to leave just as they are ending. Hope I didn't disturb anyone.

I would like to know who it was, but my real question was if anybody has chartered a jet out of Laconia or knows anything about it.

A long time ago we took a king air turbo prop charter into the laconia airport. From what I remember there wasn't much more than the runway back then.

When I took my bi-plane ride on July 6th, there was a black private jet parked off the runway. It had WWE printed on the tail.

Default WWE Jet

This is the jet owned by World Wrestling Entertainment CEO Vince McMahon. His wife Linda is the front-runner for the Republican nomination for Senator from Connecticut. Maybe she was up visting Mitt over the 4th?

Stephanie and her husband Triple H are building a huge place on the lake and rumored to be up here this weekend checking on the progress. even though they were just setting up for the foundation

How long ago was that? Was the plane based in Laconia?
