3:38 as soon as I saw that tail I knew it was a jet associated with the Fuccillo Automotive group. If you've seen/heard their ads you know what I mean. Merry Christmas.

Same in SRQ. There are a few good spots around the airport to watch the planes take off, like my hotel!

[@captmoonbeam]

Hi Fly guy. Hope you're having a great Christmas.

[@unclefester420]

That HUGE jet is owned by a car dealership owner here in upstate NY. Fuccillo automotive group. His catch phrase in his commercials is HUUUUUUUGEE savings lol. Merry Christmas. It's nice to see you like plane spotting when you can.

Hi Jim, it’s surprising we haven’t run in to each other. We seem to haunt many of the same airports. We also seem to be similar in age and there have been lots of changes for me as well this year. Different companies and different airplanes. I enjoy your videos. Merry Christmas. Ben

"Stuff going on" - sounds like the ninth seat option is going to be useful - I had thought the XLS had nine option actually.. The M2 must be a good compromise for shorter hops where passenger count lower. All your time spent in airports and hotels Jim must have gotten old long ago! Last fledgling left the nest eh - reminds me of when we had the same - hope you and Kris will manage to enjoy some travel time together to be able chill out. Appreciate all your vids from this year and hope you can keep a few coming out in future. Happy Christmas again.
