Welp found out my office in Austin is closing. Not sure there plans. Will they force us to infinite, will they force us to move to KC ?? I hate the uncertainty.

It's been a a month or so since last update. I would say not heavy travel, but all on just one jet. The prior weekly DC trips seem to have stopped.

N73M:

• A short loop flight (test?) in New England based out of Springfield, MA

Hasn't flown since Sept 8th.

N83M:

• Day trip to Ft. Lauderdale, FL
• Overnight to Costa Rica
• Overnight in Atlanta then day trip to Ft. Lauderdale.
• Day trip to Las Vegas
• Overnight trip to Austin
• 2-night trip to Chicago

N93M:

• No flights since last update. Still on ground in St. Paul.

Note: When the jets get sold and have new tail numbers I won't immediately know it. It is much like a car getting a new license plate when it is sold.
