Nascar Drivers Pilots?

[CitationLover]

i work at jqf and both joe gibbs and hendrick fly the saab 2000. where as haas, and penske, fly crj 200's. hendrick sold off the remaining 1900's about 18 months ago. some teams are beginning the sell their fleet and turn towards the expressjet charters. i know at jqf we have at least 2 or 3 erj's sitting there at any given time.

the pilots that do fly for the teams seem to enjoy it so turnover is quite low, it takes a lot of experience and a well placed connection to get on board with one

Good info. I know a CRJ200 check airman for the Waltrips and he thinks they might get rid of the airplane. Easy job he thinks he has.


I used to work at JQF also (my flight instructor there used to fly for Hendrick). I can still hear Russell and Matt's voice in the tower (although Russell has moved onto to a TX tower). I still shout out to the tower guys on 134.65 every now and then.

The Petty pilots wear Wrangler's, big belt buckles and cowboy hats. WOO HOO!

My father used to race late models with Biffle at the old Portland Speedway when it was paved.

I fly into JQF quite a bit. Russell actually works out of DTO where we are based. We gave him a ride home from Concord last week. Who is the guy in the JQF tower that is always in a good mood and has a really distinctive way of talking on freq? It's hard to describe his style but he cracks me up.
