It first was scheduled to land at SFB but the flight timed out. I thought it was maybe a mistake but now the flight tracker shows it went from Sanford to Ellington Field (EFD) near Houston. It came and left overnight anyways. Could be of interest to IAH spotters.
Why did this plane fly to Orlando Sanford??
It also apparently was only there for a few hours, yet it has stayed for days at the last airports it's been to recently.

Has anyone ever met or seen the head of that organization, "Dr" K Paul, interviewed? That guy is a quack and a fraud. He calls himself "Doctor", yet his degree is honorary. He shows up at EFD earlier this month, then publicly chastises one of Houston's most generous philanthropists for not coughing up the cash to fill his SP's tanks. Nevermind that the philanthropist he called out had just dontated $250K to the Bush/Clinton tsunami relief fund. Not to mention his work during the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo, where he regularly buys grand champion stock for hundreds of thousands of dollars (all going to scholarships).
Don't get me wrong. Any tsunami relief is a good thing, but this clown spends more time jetting from city to city in his flying palace, begging for fuel funds, than he does handing out relief supplies.

Interesting piece of info there.
Doesn't this Dr K Paul guy have enough money already? He's probably a millionaire anyways, or rich enough. I really don't have much information on this organiation and how they work, I guess I'd have to read more about it. Woudln't surprise me if this was another greedy bastard who gets plenty of money for himself out of the aid donations. Sad.
Rob, you mssed the Air Luxor 330 that came to TPA too, that is super rare in florida man, if not the first time it comes here. Stop partying so much mate

Ah, but LXR A330's across the Pond are old-hat mate - don't care where they're going!
No idea on the Bellview's I'm afraid. Not seen anything about them since. I stopped sending in the 'interesting ferries and deliveries' as no-one appeared interested.

Hey.. if any interesting ferries come to florida, I'm definitely interested!
I just read that thread, the Luxor A330 came in as a BA flight supposedly, I'm sure you wouldn't be paying attention to old, boring BA. I'm pretty sure it's the first time Air Luxor is in florida though, even being a charter airline as it is.
