Embraer Phenom 300 Arrives at Lunken - IS THIS THE 1%?

Big cities have special airports, reserved for private flying, away from the crowds. In New York its Teterboro, Los Angeles has Van Nuys, Denver has Centennial, Kansas City has Wheeler Downtown and Cincinnati has Lunken. (Complete name is Cincinnati Municipal Airport - Lunken Field) Lunken was Cincinnati's primary airport before its location in the Ohio River Flood Plane between two of Cincinnati's famous hills strangled its growth.

Its closer to Cincinnati's business centers and is the home to ALL of its Private Aircraft. This Embraer Phenom 300 is bringing this couple home from their weekend in Naples. Its on the Big Ten side of Florida and a bit more exclusive that the Atlantic Coast.

The plane's door drops down, a crew member comes out and puts an item in the Range Rover that has ben pulled plane-side. Then the couple comes to the stairs. They are dressed for Florida. She puts some hand items in the vehicle while we he oversees the ground crew's handling of the luggage. He moves between the crew providing gratuities. (The 1% still carry cash in order to provide gratuities.) He's found a jacket before he hops in and drives off. There total time from touchdown to driving off is less than 10 minutes!

This mission is right behind medical air transport, and likey could not happend without Phenom completing the flight in 1 hour and 19 minutes. There flight time this Sunday afternoon was 2:15. They could have played a round of golf with those clubs they are packing before heading to the airport.

I am an airplane and airport loving pilot and photographer. I capture and share experiences at New York Kennedy, New York Laguardia, Chicago O'Hare, Washington National, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Columbus, Detroit, Louisville, Nashville, Atlanta, Tampa, Denver, Rocky Mountain, Clearwater, Detroit and San Juan airports so far.
