Most unlikely. They usually fly out of Westover in Chicopee.

You think Ibiquity is making a profit? They can't, because you
aren't subsidizing their receiver distribution, Rich. That is
where they will make the real money, on receiver licensing.
Now, you admit you aren't doing your part. Come on Rich, you
are holding up the whole parade. Get in line and pay your 
money like everybody else.

Rich, Rich, Rich, it's the principle of the thing that counts.
If you want nighttime testing, you just gotta help out. That's
the way it is.

Just think, with one fell swoop of a C-5 you could assure the
IBOC revolution and contribute to the full employment of every
vet in the Pioneer Valley. Come on Rich, you would become 
historic. Maybe you'd get a statue in Springfield across from
the campanile.

go down in history beside E. Scrooge, do you?
