The visitor (s) we had over the weekend were apparently here for the 4th of July celebration at a nearby elite military academy.  The 4th celebration is a big deal, naturally.

The plane, a Embraer Legacy 600, was either owned or leased by a person attending the festivities.

My coworker said that there was another jet parked at the airport over the weekend, as well. They had actually requested the airport expand its runway to accommodate jets.  It is able to take up to 727’s.  Amazing.  I have to give kudos to the pilots, because it still looks to me like a pretty short runway.

I knew there was wealth associated with the elite academy, but I didn’t realize to what extent.
