Just Another “Curious Coincidence”?

UPDATE at end of story: 14:35 EDT

The above image is a reproduction of the flight log of a private plane, N178AX, registered to Baron & Budd PC from Dallas’ Love Field to Providenciales International Airport in the Caribbean on August 14.

More on this in a few paragraphs.

[ED. NOTE: Just discovered that the plane number in the headline was incorrectly stated as "N179AX"--the correct number is in this story--it is N178AX. That's what no sleep will result in sometimes. Apologies to readers for any confusion. Thanks to dossier for pointing it out.]

The National Enquirer reported that Rielle Hunter and baby daughter, Frances Quinn Hunter, flew out of the U.S. on August 7 to the St. Croix in the Virgin Islands to stay at the home of John Edwards’ acquaintance, Lee Rohn.

Rohn is a “controversial” attorney, in the words of the Enquirer. The Enquirer also reported that the Hunters later moved out of Rohn’s house and into other accommodations. Rielle and Frances Hunter, stayed in St. Croix from August 7 until August 17, when they returned to Santa Barbara, CA.

During their stay in the sunny Caribbean, the above-mentioned Raytheon Hawker 800 twin jet, registered to Baron & Budd PC landed a short distance away–as the Caribbean crow flies–at Providenciales International Airport on August 14. We have no word–as yet–how many passengers this plane carried, who they were or whether the passenger(s) found their way to other points in the Caribbean.

[Background information: access over 100 DBKP stories on the John Edwards-Rielle Hunter affair and cover-up: John Edwards Love Child Scandal Library.]

The information turned up at DBKP in an email titled “Interesting Flight”. We thought so, too.

It may turn out that nothing about this flight is out of the ordinary. The rich who own such jets regularly visit the Caribbean for both the fun and the sun the area provides. Or, at least, we’ve heard.

We only mentioned it for a couple of reasons.

1 – By publishing the information of the flight, we may receive an email with additional information about the flight’s passenger(s) and purpose(s)–either by the parties involved or another reader as curious as we are.

2 – By publishing the information, we receive no additional info.

In the event of (1), we apologize in advance for any incovenience this may have caused. We’re just asking a few questions.

In the event of (2), the August 14 flight of N178AX to Providenciales International Airport will join the stack of curious coincidences that have surrounded the affair of John Edwards and his mistress, Rielle Hunter.

Lately, those curious coincidences have included Frances Quinn, purported to be the daughter of Edwards and Rielle Hunter; as well as Fred Baron, the finance chair of Edwards’ run for president earlier this year.

How about it?

Are there any out there that can shed further light on the particulars of N178AX? Is the flight’s timing/destination just a coincidence?

Again, we’re just asking.

In a later post today, DBKP will ask additional questions concerning the flights and travel arrangements between the John Edwards campaign and its finance chair, Fred Baron. We also have some additional questions for Julian Chambers, the campaign treasurer, concerning certain–some might say “curious”–campaign travel arrangements.

And in yet another post later today, we hope to provide a few answers to some of those questions.

As was previously stated, this flight–taken during the Hunters’ stay in the nearby Virgin Islands–may be nothing about which to ask any questions.

On the other hand, curious coincidences–and the questions concerning them–have a habit of following the main actors in this story.

It makes no difference to DBKP either way.

But, we’ll continue to keep asking questions–at least, until others join.

UPDATE: 1435 EDT

Another alert DBKP readers sends us another mystery flight by the N178AX.

This time, the busy jet was again flown from Dallas to Provo, but on August 6–the day before Rielle Hunter and Frances Quinn took their all-expenses paid trip to St. Croix on August 7.

Again, probably nothing–just another “coincidence”.

Funny now the Baron & Budd jet continues to turn up in the locale of Hunter and daughter during the same time frame.

Some might even label it “curious”.

[NOTE: We're waiting to hear back from the attentive DBKP reader who sent this on how he'd like to be referred to in his HAT TIP. It may turn out that a masterful web of attorneys will prove no match for an equally-masterful army of readers!]
