Hop A Jet

[Ace-of-the-Base]

Hop-a jet is owned by Air Castle ? Unless there was some recent deal that I missed, that one is news to me. The Challenger that overran in TEB was in fact owned by and registered to HAJ, but they did not operate it.

I think you mean the Montrose accident (hard to keep track). Relationship is murky, but I've heard they are owned by the same company. Here is an exerpt from one report:

Ownership of the jet that carried Ebersol is further muddied, registration records at the Federal Aviation Administration show. The jet is technically owned by Hop-A-Jet, a Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.-based company. Mike Harvey, a Hop-A-Jet official, acknowledged that his company owned the aircraft but said it was leased to Jet Alliance.
