Rush's trip to Dominican Republic... [View All]

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

The news reports about his latest drug bust said he traveled by private airplane. So I started checking around some of the Internets to find out what I could about that plane. The FAA database, http://registry.faa.gov/aircraftinquiry/NNum_inquiry.asp doesn't show any planes owned in Rush's name, but that would figure because most airplane owners put them in corporataions. No luck there. But there's a plane-spotter website with a picture of a Gulfstream IV, said to be one Rushbo travels on; I looked up the tail number, N1EB, and found it was owned by Premiere Radio Networks, the company that syndicates Rush. So then I checked another site, http://www.flightaware.com, which shows the names of aircraft owners and routes all filed IFR flight plans (all matters of public record). And guess what that site showed for N1EB: "PREMIERE RADIO NETWORKS (SHERMAN OAKS CA) This flight is not available for tracking per request from the owner/operator."

Hmmm.... Guess maybe Rush doesn't want anyone to know where he goes...?
