Inauguration traffic Washington DC

Post by PH-AVR »

Dear All,
The DC area was probably the busiest biz jet place on earth this week with inauguration traffic . Big corporations were brown nosing Trump ‘bigly’ to use Trumpian speak. He could have tweeted that it was the largest number of biz jets for an inauguration, EVER! Estimate that I was able to get 80-90% from the usual locations (Signature, DJC, JetAviation, C6) given the tight parking but using various spots/every angle possible I was able to read off in total 190 biz jets today. Total numbers of biz jets that came to the DC area are hard to estimate as many rides will have been ‘drop and go’s’ over multiple days plus platform F/R was out of sight while runway 19R/01L was turned into a big parking lot with a few dozen biz visible but too far to read off. It was hard keep track of the constant stream of biz jets coming and going on runways 01C/01R/30!
groeten,
Anton

Hi All,
No less than 82 biz jets (incl. 38 Citations) at Manassas, a number I have never ever seen at HEF and missed several due to the parking in some spots. Just a few pix:

Passed by National Friday morning to scoop up the inauguration traffic. Fairly busy with bizjets for that airport and its restrictions though expected more.
