Default NJA aircraft or not?

N305EJ, 2006 Cessna 680

I saw this aircraft tonight at an FBO in Fresno (FAT)
Looks like NetJet color scheme and I wondered if the EJ suffix was for the callsign 'ExecJet' which I understand is the callsign that NetJets flies under.
This website makes it look like it some other corporate aircraft. Any APCers out there know how to track this down - or better eyt - any APC NJ crews out there spending the night in Fresno?

It's used by NJI to move crews and upper level execs around. It's on the EJM certificate though. Just as N200EJ one of their 2 king airs.

It is not flow by NJA or NJI pilots but rather a few EJM pilots assigned to it.

Agreed - that is who the website that I posted said the aircraft was registered too, but it certainly looked like a NJ aircrasft. Of course I'm sure that there could be plenty of aircraft out there with the same paint scheme so I ficused on the tail code and still had questions. Thanks for sharing the information

NJA tails end with "QS" quarter shares
EJM is a sister company to NJA

Is that A7 still behind the main gate at Lemoore?

I did not know that. Thanks. There was an earlier thread about why they use the "ExecJet" callsign vice "NetJet";
all of it is a little confusing unless you really understand the history of the company.

It sure is - along with the Hornet at the main gate and bracketing the A-7 on either side is the A-1 and the A-4.
I take it that you have spent some time in lovely Lemoore, CA.

Yes sir, QS stands for Quarter Share.

Speaking of EJM, they seem to be doing all right, they expect to manage 200 aircraft by 2010. Good growth during these trouble times.
