Haven't seen this posted yet, just found on Flightaware. Looks like Nashville touchdown was a little before 3pm today and the plane is doing some other charter work between. Another Delta plane this year, looks like a normal domestic route A319 tail # N342NB that flys under DL8917 for the charter flights. Any pics yet if it has the tongue and lips on it?

See you all in pit 2 in LA

Wow. Is it still at Metro Detroit? That's 10 miles from me. I'm starting to think that they don't have their Logo on it because usually, by now, the Stones post a pic of it. Pretty sure, since at least 2015, they had a plane with a logo, but I don't think they had just one plane, or a logo, in 2016 for the Ole Tour.

I don't think they care about such things this tour. It has 'contractual obligation' written all over it. I think that it's turning out to be more positive than expected is a nice surprise.

"some charter work in between" is another contradiction of the bubble they claim to be staying in. I don't suppose this plane smells of disinfectant all the time

We're taking every necessary precaution unless it's a hassle

I don't know but I would have figured that chartering the plane for the full duration of the tour would be one of the easy things to do

I'm confused. Is it DL8917 or DL8916?

I had heard they use multiple charters in the past.

Which also has other charter flights in between similar to the A319 N342NB.

The A319 (DL8917) can also be a N346NB (e.g. Charlotte -> Pittsburgh, 01-Oct-2021) - [www.Flightradar24.com] , [www.Flightradar24.com] .

Do you think they have that many people flying with them?
