Who in Denver would Miami be interviewing

[theAPAOps5]

Just got back from doing a ramp inspection and low and behold I see the Miami Dolphins corporate jet parked here. Didn't think anything of it until I remembered that Wayne Huizinga was reported to be flying around interviewing candidates for their opening. Merely speculation that this is why they are here but its kind of coincidental.

[Barry Ramey]

Not sure, but I'm hoping it's to give Dennison a job.

[sirhcyennek81]

Maybe he is here for the wings at hooters.

:Broncos:

[theAPAOps5]

It could be just a conincidence but the only time I see teams corporate jets here is for games or for meetings.

[CBF1]

Maybe here trying to work a draft day trade :)

[Garcia Bronco]

We got a man on the ground at the airport. Hell yeah

[alkemical]

Bobby Turner.

[Sir Mawn]

Slowik for Head Coach. He'd be tutoring the highest paid DC in the game.

[Garcia Bronco]

Please...don't hire Dennison!!!

[Jens1893]

Dennison, please, please, please.

[Antilles]

Ted Sundquist for GM? That would suck.

[theAPAOps5]

I see a lot of Denver Broncos out here. Usually Mr Bowlen flies out the draft picks so I see them when I am on duty. I gotta say the strangest thing I ever saw was Porter right after he got shot in the butt. His agent requested our help blocking his view from reporters when they put him on a plane to go back to Pittsburg. I looked up just as he was getting out of the ambulance and onto the plane. He still had his hospital gown on and all I see is the enourmous mans bandaged butt.

[theAPAOps5]

Ted Sundquist for GM? That would suck.

Oh man I didn't even think of that. Sundquist is a big reason for the recent drafts in my eyes. I really don't want him to go. It couldn't be Shannahan could it? He does have Florida ties and he is trying to work out a long term deal.

[TailgateNut]

Just checking on his car dealerships!

[GonzoLays]

Maybe the jet is just refueling? Stopover? Or how about Heuzenga going skiing?

[Tredici]

Or it might have something to do with turning all the Auto Nations into GO. He has other interests than the sports teams.

See thats what I was thinking also but in the 4 years I have worked here I have never seen that jet unless they were playing or they were holding offseason meetings. Last year all the teams jets were here for the Owners meetings it was crazy.

I bet he may be doing just that since they just underwent an image change.

[theAPAOps5]

Maybe the jet is just refueling? Stopover? Or how about Heuzenga going skiing?

Yeah could be that too but its been here since yesterday. Usually they gas and go. It could very well be a ski deal also. Vail/Eagle Airport, and Aspen are limited on space so many times they drop off then fly down here for parking.

Again I just thought it was peculiar that they would be here and they happen to be looking for a new coach. I am not trying to start any speculation or rumors just thought I would throw it out there and see what people thought.

Do you work seven days a week, 12 hours a day? It is possible you missed a Miami Dolphins jet flying in to Denver.

And besides, wouldn't it just be more convienent for Miami to fly the canidate in instead of flying to him?

[plummershelper]

Please not Bobby or Ted!!

No and I am not saying that they haven't been here before. They are scheduled to be here for another 2 days so I am thinking its just business or skiing now.

Also there are many reports that Huizinga was having head-hunters fly to candidates. Thats why I threw it out there. Just was curious what people thought.

[Billy Clyde Puckett]

Or it might have something to do with turning all the Auto Nations into GO. He has other interests than the sports teams.

From what I hear, the dealerships are not only in the midst of a name change, but there is a big shake up in the regional and local management. I believe he spent around $85 milion for those dealerships eight years ago. I'm sure he wouldn't hesitate to fly in to protect that investment.

Good eye though, APs. Any chance you could run down the street and bug the Broncs Hdq for us?

[Orange_Beard]

It's me.

[GonzoLays]

Yea, you never know. It would be cool if you broke this story.

I wish, hell I am not even supposed to make things like this public. There is a reason we have a lot of business, celeb's, and well known people fly through here. So they can have their autonomy. But when your jet is painted Miami colors, your tail number ends in HZ and there is a huge Dolphins helmet painted on your tail anybody can spot it.

My airport manager gets to go to Broncos games in Bowlens suite. Now if I ever get that you will see my Miller High Life drinking commoner ass snapping as many pictures I can get for you guys! :yayaya:

[Rascal]

Has Bates officially signed?

[theAPAOps5]

Has Bates officially signed?

I am not sure but I don't see Bates going back after he coached the team on an interim basis only to lose out on a fulltime chance to Saban. Again they are here for a couple more days. An interview doesn't take that long I bet it has something to do with AutoNation and its restructuring.

[Dedhed]

They want Plummer and George Foster, and they want to hire Dennisaon as well.

[Rulon Velvet Jones]

Team planes are available if anyone wants to rent them. I know the Mavericks' team plane is loaded out all the time when not in use by the team.

[Vegas_Bronco]

you guys, you're soo not with it....Its Ricky!

[Kaylore]

They want Plummer and George Foster, and they want to hire Dennisaon as well.

Yes and they want to give up all their first day picks for him. And we'll give them a sixth rounder a per normal to "seal-a-the-deal".

[theAPAOps5]

They are trying to unload thier problem on us. That has to be it! As for renting it out that could be possible but I seriously doubt it, most people who own their own jets rarely schlep them out. The Rockies own a Challenger jet they invested in specifically to charter out but they don't travel on that one.

[atomicbloke]

They are interviewing George Foster for offensive line coach.

[c_lazy_r]

you guys, you're soo not with it....Its Ricky!

We'd know for sure if the cloud was visible through the windows.

[NFLBRONCO]

Jason Taylor?

[OrangeShadow]

just ask TJ.

[broncosteven]

You are our last hope!

Watch the plane 24x7, before it leaves as it taxi's down the run way Pull a Jack Bauer & jump into the luggage hold & then roundhouse kick your way into the passenger compartment to get to the root of the mystery.

Force the pilot to land on the Dove Valley Training field (NOTE: not the in-door bubble) if any Bronco personnel are on board.

Post here when you have control so we can track you on the google earth satelites. There may be some delay as google earth does not update info often, if at all but hey, Jack Bauer can do it, so can you!

Are you an FAA inspector?

[theAPAOps5]

No I do not work for the FAA. I like to make people's lives easier not harder. I work for the airport itself. I coordinate emergencies, snow removal, and make sure the airport is in compliance with the FAA.

As for going all Jack Bauer style that would be overkill. I can just sit right infront of the airplane and watch who gets on. Better yet I can just ask the guys at the FBO who fuel it and help load the bags. They always get all the dirt.

But I just figured out how to use Google Earth!

Man, My wife won't let me be naked Jack Bauer, now you won't be my OM Jack Bauer. I am beginning to think there is no Jack Bauer! Maybe it is just a TV show!

[heydensmom]

But the Jack Bauer approach would be be so much fun.....just think about it ;)

[Billy Clyde Puckett]

I coordinate snow removal, .

Ya know Ap, if you get bored, the streets in my neighborhood could use a little attention. ;D

[Garcia Bronco]

And then maybe when you were done with that street you could come over to my neighborhood

[Hercules Rockefeller]

Has Bates officially signed?

Yes. There wouldn't have been an article on the team site if he hadn't. They never mention any signing unless it is official, unlike the papers writing something when contracts have been agreed to.

Hey Apa, question for you.

I fly Great Lakes quite a bit, and on the East side of Concourse A there is usually a "Champion Air" plane parked out a little ways.
That isn't the charter the Broncos use, is it?

I am strange, but I freaking LOVE going to the airport. I have since I was a kid. 5 hour wait between flights? No problem, i'll just walk around the place and check out things, watch planes, and people watch. No big deal to me.

[theAPAOps5]

Champion Air might be ConAir. I don't work out at DIA I work down at Centennial. The Broncose usually chater something bigger and its usually through United Airlines. I always love flying into airports and always schedule layovers to be a little longer so I can sit and watch. My favorite is when I fly into the New York system or into Atlanta. Another favorite of mine is to go out to DIA and take the exit for the long term parking on the S side of the airport. There is a road, I want to say 63rd or 56th, its a back way over to Front Range airport. The Road sits right underneath the S Approach for the RYs. I can do that for hours.

[theAPAOps5]

And then maybe when you were done with that street you could come over to my neighborhood

Man I would plow my street if I wanted to do it out of work. I keep asking my boss to let me take one of the Oshkosh Plows home. Our blade on that thing would clear a street in one pass, that and the cars parked on the street as well but hey the streets will be cleared, :wiggle:

[Killericon]

Mike Heimerdinger?

[theAPAOps5]

This is the road I am talking about. You can watch the whole approach from where the red line ends

Huh I didn't know they flew the convicts but Champion charters alot of pro and college teams especially the NBA.

[theAPAOps5]

I am not sure just threw that out there. I know that the Denver Broncos and Avalanch charter through United because they depart out of Signature in Denver and a lot of they guys who work for Signature out here at Centennial worked there. That and when I work game days I am sometimes am at Signature and hear them call Signature @ DIA because they share the same AirInc freq.

[footstepsfrom#27]

Fish fans are actually tracking their owner's jet trying to figure out what he's up to...I'll let 'em know. ;D

I've always been fascinated by planes.

I'm hoping to get into a good flight school next year.

The only HS player in Colorado Carroll would be trying to get eliminated USC from contention back in September and is not changing his commitment. So that's definitely out.

[footstepsfrom#27]

Ha Ha...they're spinninng off rumors now...some are saying it might be Heimerdinger.

I would not miss him.

[ZONA]

I think they might be talking with Mike about a possible trade of a pick to get Plummer. Their QB spot is not set in stone. They know Jake wants to compete for a starting spot and they know it won't be here.

Just kidding. I heard he came to town to offer Bowlen all of his dealerships for Cutler. !Booya!

What's funny about it?? The national media has picked up on what we've been doing. And they're now using the same site for their stories.

Ok, it is pretty funny. :D

Its not his 737 that is here. Its another airplane and its hangared now but I will keep my eyes posted on Wed when I am back on shift.

I can't get in there to see what they are saying. I keep getting the 403 page.

The plane that is here arrived on the 12th and they are scheduled to depart on the 17th. That is a long time to be interviewing. I am going to bet its something else.

Alot of big charters use the 727 of champion or 737 of casino express. Golfers use NetJets or an similar fractional/charter company. One of my good friends fly's for Champion. As Apa said United will charter planes as needed.

[theAPAOps5]

Man when the International is going its like a netjets parking lot out at my airport. All that stems from the Payne Stewart tragedy. The PGA wanted the golfers to travel on more reputable jets thus NetJets.

Ah, I must've missed where you said you were at Centennial. Sorry about that.

I'll have to remember the road you are talking about and take my boys there. One of my favorite things when I was a kid was going on Havana St. and watching the planes land with my dad. That was great.

[JCMElway]

Hell, Huizinga might be here on a skiing vacation. And while he's here he might be talking to Shanny about compensation for Ricky Williams!

[theAPAOps5]

What about this, what if they are trying to swing a trade for Jason Taylor. Taylor loves Bates and wanted to see what they did with coaches. Yeah my head are in the clouds but you never know!

[theAPAOps5]

I tried to log into phinhaven.com but I have to wait for a stupid validation email that hasn't come yet. Over there they are tracking his 737 so I am speculating this isn't him. The Miami plane I saw this weekend was a Gulfstream 4. So I am betting its more his other business interests.

Whats his tail number? I can tell you where its at or flow by that.

The 737 N-Number is listed somewhere in here.

I am not going to list the N-Number for the GIV just because my job asks not to do that. People fly in to APA for a reason. I really shouldn't have even said a Miami plane is on our ramp but it was out in the open and I wanted to see what you guys thought. Not trying to be all mysterious just our department got ripped for letting Phil Anschutz plane information get out there.

I know its there but I don't want to be the person that is linked to that. Its dumb but my boss would flip if he read that I posted an airport users N-Number on a chat forum. A General Aviation airport like Centennial Airport is in business because it provides a certain level of autonomy, if that is compromised then it chases people away. That is the only reason why I won't post it.

[DB84FAN]

Wayne owns couple of other teams other than Miami Dolphins.... So could he be talking to Avs or Rockies about something ?

But my best guess is JT to denver
