Title: So, what is this plane?
Post by FotiniD on Jun 7th, 2018 at 3:35am
There were articles in the Greek press today that supposedly the Stones' plane has landed in the island of Skiathos, a private mini-bus with tinted windows came to the airport and picked up 7 people, taking them to a yacht at the marina.

The press insists it's the Stones' plane, but it doesn't look like the one they use on tour, what do you guys think?

tongue looks photoshopped to me.
If they were going to do a private show on a yacht or anywhere else, I'd have thought the window of opportunity would be between Murrayfield & Cardiff (6 days)

Nah, I wouldn't expect the Greek press to give much time to photoshopping a tongue on the plane  ;D There are other shots of the plane too, I'm guessing either it's just a private jet of some rich guy who happens to like the Stones or maybe some of the boys took a private vacation in the days before the next gig?

Well, well, it might be the Stones' plane after all.

Found this older post:

Seems to be the same plane.
To think I'm going to cross half of continental Europe to see those bastards, and they're relaxing at the seaside within a 3-hour drive and a 1-hour ferry ride from my home right this minute ::)

I doubt the Stones' entourage could fit in this little puddle-jumper:

I know, they're different planes. However I've seen other pictures of the one in Skiathos on the web, referred to as owned by the Stones as well. The plot thickens  ;D

Perhaps they use another jet while touring to pick up stuffed green olives, mousakka, horiatiki salad, grilled tsipouri and halloumi.

Hahaha, they'll need to go to Cyprus for halloumi, but anyway.

A very well-known Greek DJ who's also a big Stones fan also mentioned them being in Greece on his show today, so this adds some credibility to the original article. Who knows? I may need to do an investigation in Skiathos and then convince Keith to take me on that jet with them and avoid travelling endless miles on the road to get to the gigs  :P
