I've been online tracking aircraft going in and out of the Port au Prince airport in Haiti. Gen. William Lyon's Gulfstream 4 jet (N77WL) was in Haiti today. The aircraft left John Wayne Airport yesterday at 4 p.m. local time, arriving at Dallas Love Field 8 p.m. central time. After an overnight stay the plane took off this morning at 8 central time and landed at the Port au Prince Airport, time unspecified. Then at 1 p.m. EST today, the plane took off for a 31 minute flight to Providenciales International Airport on Grand Turk Island.
Of course, Gen. Lyon is the big Southern California home builder who also happens to own Martin Aviation and the Lyon Air Museum at John Wayne Airport.
It would be interesting to know why the General's plane went down to Haiti. Was he taking VIP's down there? Relief supplies?
