Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is crisscrossing the country in a private $4,000 an hour Gulfstream jet as she promotes her new memoir, while her staff have been riding the bus.
A blogger discovered that Palin had arrived for a Thanksgiving event in Tri-Cities, Washington after a stopover in Atlanta by private jet, which was confirmed by a local newspaper.
Soon thereafter, a reader identified the markings on the plane, a Gulfstream II. Details of the plane's flight paths can be found here, while an extended flight log is available here.
The plane made at least five stops in the last week, according to the logs.
As much of her entourage, including HarperCollins publicist Tina Andreadis, risked a collective case of White Line Fever, covering more than 3,000 road miles during the book tour’s first week, Sarah Palin herself seems to have remained above it all, apparently cosseted in the luxury of a Gulfstream II 12-passenger jet rented from Universal Jet Aviation of Boca Raton, Florida, at a cost of more than $4,000 per hour.
