Default Laconia Airport activity ?

I've seen no less than 4 jet's land at Laconia airport today, is there a NASCAR event at Loudon this weekend, or possibly an concert event at Meadowbrook ?

Also seen as many as 6 Charter planes land ???

Of interest, the largest jet that landed today was HUGE red jet ?
Didn't see if there were any logos on the plane, but it was quite impressive !
Anyone have info on this one ?

Default Laconia Airport activity ?

Bigdog, The large red jet has been here several times this summer. I happened to see it leave a few weeks ago and tracked it on the Plane Finder app that I have. It left Gilford and landed in White Plains New York. As of yesterday afternoon no less than 10 private/corporate jets were parked at the airport, busy weekend for jet travel. There is about a minute and a half or two minute delay on the app so when one lands if I am quick I can see where it came from. Friday Jets landed from Atlanta Georgia, Birmingham Alabama, New York, New Jersey and North Carolina. And several others that had not filed a flight plan.

A post earlier this summer mentioned the big red jet belonged to wrestler Triple H ?

Had breakfast next to HHH and his family at George's diner in Meredith on Thursday. He and Stephanie seem like great parents, we were very impressed with how polite and well behaved their kids were.

You tracked the jet on an app you have?? In today's world that's just a little creepy...

Almost any aircraft is tracked along with ocean vessels. The link provided is Flight tracker. Drag the screen and zoom in anywhere. When you see a plane you want to check click on it and all the info will pop up. You can actually watch the plane move on the screen when zoomed. If you click on the Laconia airport(LCI) it shows past flights as well as scheduled incoming and the relevant data. https://flightaware.com/live/

I use an app called Planes Live which also tracts flights, very handy when yourself, friends or relatives are flying. More reliable than the airline tracking

Airplanes can "block" themselves from being visible on Flightaware or any of the other apps and web sites. Many don't but many do, particularly jets owned by corporations or high net worth individuals. Personal security and the location of company executives is not taken lightly.
