It looks like a farm to the south with odd holes all over the place, a little more south you can see mounds all over the place. I saw something weird on the map of the last plane pic in china.

It's in New Jersey, about an hour east of Philadelphia, and about as removed from the big ol' city as you can get, as you can see.

Anyways, this guy used to rent out Lear Jets for cargo (or something). From what I remember, he got caught with something he shouldn't have been flying... and ended up going bankrupt.

You have just looked at the logo and read 'flying airport resort' when you should have read it as "Flying W" "Airport resort". Just bad graphic design really (perhaps you can put in a pitch?) and not really confusion. Take a "Doh!" card, do not pass go, do not collect £200.
