Duggar Aviation Part 2

[sophrosyne]

Probably the case. The Cessna definitely spends a lot more time wheels down than wheels up.

Yeah, thanks.

And the Cessna missed its scheduled departure time today, though there are t-storms in the Nashville area and a menacing line of storms behind those, likely to hit the flight route in the next hour or two.

So wheels down this afternoon too, I bet.

I'm thinking the Duggars sold the Cessna.?

It's still registered to Duggar Aviation. http://flightaware.com/resources/registration/N734UE I don't know how often that page gets updated, though, so it's not impossible.

Does the Jana/John David dynamic have the same safeguards as other boy/girl interaction since they're twins? I thought that they were volunteer fire/EMT training at one point in the past with just the two of them.

That is if we really believe that there were "safe guards" anyway...

...runs to riffle thru youtubes

I'm not sure. When jana wanted to go on a trip a few years ago (southeast Asia I think?), they made JD go with her.

You rock again, Halcionne--thanks!

If the register is relatively up to date, perhaps the Cessna is rented. Or, I wonder if 'ministry air services' would rent/borrow the plane in exchange for ministry travel like that done by the Dillards and Joy and Carlin Bates?

Perhaps our ministry air travel experts can weigh in.

According the FAA, it's still registered to Duggar Aviation (as of end of business yesterday) http://registry.faa.gov/aircraftinquiry ... txt=N734UE

They're in the air; ETA approx 30 minutes.

Travelling by car, this would be a four hour, 250 mile drive south through Birmingham.

Read an article in the new Star tabloid (hey, it was in the laundromat, OK?), which mentioned tracking flights to determine where Josh is. Someone reading here, perhaps?

[Mom23]

I live near Anniston, AL. There's a Christian based rehab close by called Center of Hope. But I thought they only dealt wth drug addictions.

[RosyDaisy]

Center of Hope in Anniston isn't just for drug/alcohol addiction. Their services are free. I'm willing to bet that's where Josh is, and we either guessed wrong or were mislead.

I wonder if he checked in today or is already getting visitors. How long has the Cessna been in Nashville?

The Cessna was in Nashville for two and a half weeks--since August 22.

I think I mentioned this back then, but there is at least one minister here in Nashville who does a big anti-porn ministry. It would not shock me if Josh came here to meet with him and is now moving onto a "real" rehab. No one would be looking for him here.

[halcionne]

I don't know, it feels like confirmation bias or something, looking for rehab clinics in every town the plane goes to, but that's just my opinion, and :fsm: knows I engage in more than my fair share of confirmation bias, so I'm not judging anyone for that.

I will say that each plane purchase lined up pretty well with the beginning each J kid's pilot training, and as such, I tend to think of the Cirrus as JD's plane and the Cessna as Josiah's plane. Consequently, whenever they're used, I tend to suppose the pilot is the plane's "owner," in this case, Josiah. I'm perpetually out of the loop wrt who's at the TTH and who's not, but posters have said that Josiah is home, so I guess he's not flying the Cessna this time around. I wondered if student pilot Bates (Nathan? Lawson? I don't recall) was using the Cessna, but why then would it be in Nashville, not Knoxville?

The Cessna is back in the air at this moment, headed toward Tunica, MS.

[HereticHick]

Now I'm hoping that JD will run into the Seven Farmgirl Sister pilot-in-training, Jessica, at an airstrip in Indiana and they will fall in love. She's the oldest sister, almost 30, so if JD wants to not have a bazillion kids, she's a good bet.

When Fundy Worlds Collide!! :)

[halcionne]

Cessna. Anniston, AL to Tunica, MS. 300 miles west--2.5 hours by plane, 5 hours by car.

Thanks, Halcionne! I appreciate the mileage and time by mode breakdown and your lucid posts.

oooo...Tunica is awesome! There's a casino there. The headship and I took our "honeymoon" (after a mere 13 years of marriage lol) there last year. It's also within an hour's drive of the Crossroads. Maybe Smuggar 1.0 is heading down there to sell his soul? :lol: I'd give anything to be there right now. Morgan Freeman's restaurant is by the Crossroads, and his potato a la Morgan and the fried mushrooms there were the best things I've ever eaten in my life. I don't even like fried mushrooms!

It's also very close to Memphis, which is why we were there, other than the gambling. I was a Graceland VIP for a glorious day.

LOL I'm not sure why I do it, other than to have a caption to go with the image. I'm glad someone appreciates it!

I appreciate your posts too - just lurk this thread as I have nothing relevant to add.

Adding to the appreciation pile-on! This is my fave thread. I've bookmarked the planes' pages that halcionne posts and check them periodically.

I love the in depth details too! When the whole Danica thing came out I immediately came here to check for any info that would have put Josh in a city with her. I didn't find anything but it's nice to have a place to look.

Can he sell his soul twice? The second time at the Xroads?

[defraudedbychipendales]

My favorite Duggar thread.

Where in the world is JD?

[sophrosyne]

He seemed to be in Arkansas either Saturday or Sunday to wish J'chelle a happy birthday, unless his best wishes video (posted on the Duggar's FB and the Duggars Blog pages) was made before J'chelle's bday.

Honestly, this is helpful journalism and I'm pretty sure the journalists who talk about the Duggar plane are only copying you, lol!
