I would suggest a big greeting -- these guys played their hearts out till the end.

(But no one ever doubted they would do that.)

x2 hell with the bandwagon fans!! :flag: Hell with the lakers!:flag:

[E20]

Hope a big crowd shows up. I'll give them my cheers. :toast:

[nobodi_home]

Airport security probably won't let anyone get within 3 miles of wherever their plane parks, so why bother? But if you can afford the $4.00/gal gazmoline, go for it. I don't think they'd care whether fans are at the airport anyway.

[Deb]

Hell, if I were not 125 miles out of SA, I'd be there Luv ya Spurs

[T Park]

I've got work at about 7 am.

Make some noise for us if they come tonight.

Hell of a performance tonight.

The game tonight wasn't in SA.

Lame...I got to work at 9am in the morning and I will be driving from Austin.

[carina_gino20]

I would, if I lived in San Antonio. SA, make your team proud. I know anything less of a championship is a disappointment, but this team has already given you four. They deserve your loyalty.

[Jayem]

i'm gonna throw trash on manu, hes the reason why lost this series

[whottt]

Anyone got any details? Anyone have any idea how to use that flight link?

I don't know how to organize one of these, I just know I'll be there. So anyone that's ever done it before needs to step up...

[spursfor5]

You're nothing more than a Lakers fan then. Go jump on their bandwagon because we only want REAL Spurs fans with us. Real fans stay with their teams even through the tough years. And this season is far from a failure.

[Sp Ginobili 20]

I wish I lived in SA to greet the Spurs. To all thats going, cheer them on and make a lot of noise.

[OldSilentHill]

i'm gonna throw trash on manu, hes the reason why lost this series

I know that The Spurs depends so much on Manu, and I´m sure he is full of sadness because of his performance.

But I´m sure as well that he didn´t do it on purpouse :nope

[Kathyladora]

Anyone even know how to get to the gate?
Never done this before, but I really want to go out there tonight.

[Slomo]

Hopefully you can 20 to 25 fans to meet them at the airport! :lol

I don't care if it's just whottt alone. It's the right thing to do. These are OUR Spurs!

[Juanobili]

I would love to go, but I live hours away. If someone is thinking about going, go for me :)

[DannyT]

someone just post a time and where to go to meet them and I will be there...is it the main gate that we go to....the one where they walk that straight hall down to get there bags or are they going to pull the great escape and do some underground shit....?

[Re-Animator]

I live by the Hooters on Fred road and Wurzbach 561-9941 if you want to pick me up!

[whottt]

Seriously...anyone that has met them before(after a win or whatever) give the details on how to do it...because I don't know what to do.

whott if you seriously pick up mouse give me a call or atleast tell him to call me up and we can follow each other

[ElNono]

Get some pictures for the bunch of us who can't go. Even if it's just of the bunch of people that do show up there.

[iflyabeech]

Here is another link to watch
if you see a flight pop up from lax to sat, it is probably them, its not listed yet
http://flightaware.com/live/airport/KLAX/scheduled

if they are still flying champion, it might pop up here as well, but they are supposed to go out of business manana
http://flightaware.com/live/fleet/CCP

or they could be flying with a new carrier whose flight ID is blocked so you can't see it!

Keep the faith, and to you hater bandwagon fans:

Don't let the door hit you where the good lord split you!!!

[whottt]

I'm definitely picking up mouse...what's the area code so I can put it in my cell?


You guys pick the meeting spot...I haven't lived in SA in 15 years, and I don't know my way around there very well now.

[m33p0]

i definitely would if lived anywhere near san antonio.

[efrem1]

or they could be flying with a new carrier whose flight ID is blocked so you can't see it!!!

Quite true; if I recall I did not see ithe flight online the last time they flew from LA.

Let's get them outta there, there is no need for them to stay the night. :depressed

[whottt]

Thanks for the links beech...

[iflyabeech]

No problem fellers....I am flying into landmark north in the morning...kinda hoping they will be there when I am!

[duncan228]

I don't think they're flying Champion anymore. After the NO disaster didn't the owner of the Knicks lend them his charter plane for the rest of the series?

Apparently you are correct.http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/playoffs2008/columns/story?columnist=stein_marc&page=SpursLakersGame2-080524

bad news


http://flightaware.com/live/flight/N37NY

MSG AIRCRAFT LEASING LLC (NEW YORK NY)
This flight is not available for tracking per request from the owner/operator

[sagrzmnky]

Look on the bright side. The Spurs have won every other year since 2003. This was not their year. 2009 will be their year.
1999 2003 2005 2007 2009
That will be the record. Count on it.

Well...thanks for the links. As much as I'd love to hang out at the airport for the next 12 hours I think I'll have to pass.





:depressed

[RashoFan]

:clap to those heading to the airport to show the guys what great fans you all are. Cheer loud for those of us not there with you.

[Don Quixote]

We meet again, RashoFan :eyebrows

[RashoFan]

We meet again, RashoFan :eyebrows

yes, and one day I will be in NO and we will have to have a mini GTG.

[MannyIsGod]

So no time?

[Don Quixote]

Um ... one day soon? :wow

[whottt]

The Spurs charter is blocking the flight info I guess...per the Spurs request. At lest as far as I can tell.

[nobodi_home]

I just checked the listings at:

http://flightaware.com

They usually show all the flights, but a strange situation is happening tonight. They show a flight from
L.A. arriving San Antonio at 11.45PM Thurs night, which obviously can't be our boys,
but the next listing is not until 1.30PM Friday afternoon, which is not a charter but a
Southwest Airlines flight, and the Spurs don't travel by airline.
Usually they fly with Champion Air, a charter company, but there are NO CHARTERS
shown, from any of the Los Angeles area airports to San Antonio, so it looks like either
they're driving to Phoenix to catch a flight (just kiddin) or Big Brother has pulled the listing
on their charter plans.

It definitely is NOT on the posting board, which is unusual. Never seen this before.
You can go to the above link at flightaware.com and snoop around for yourself.
All these listings are based on the FILED FLIGHT PLANS, which don't happen
on a moments notice. Their captain will have a flight plan filed several hours before
the planned departure, which means it should show up, and that it doesn't
suggests someone has pulled their plans from the board.

[Critter]

didnt NY walsh guy give u a private plane?

[Fake Dynasty]

The Spurs won't be at the airport. They're gonna spend the night sleeping on the plane again (remember, that was the first lame excuse used), and then they're landing on the strip next to the fishing pond. BRING YOUR POLES!

[nobodi_home]

Flightaware.com has all the flight plans filed for arrivals to San Antonio right up thru Friday afternoon, and that applies no matter whether it's airline, charter, private bizz jet or whatever, so if their flight plan is not listed, it's a clear sign someone is covering this up. They are definitely saying they don't want anyone knowing the team's travel plans, but my guess would be, they'll stay in LAX tonight cuz if they leave NOW, they won't be arriving until about sunrise, cuz of the time change.

Personally, what the hell is there to gain from roaming around the SAT airport in the wee hours of the morning? Good way to get arrested for some chickenshit charge.

[AztecPrincss]

I love the spurs..They all played great games at some point! So plz cheer for me as well! Let them kno we are proud fans aight? Thnks !

[ATXSPUR]

The game tonight wasn't in SA.

says the guy who's team is in southern oklahoma

[Jobbs]

This is correct. It's not Champion Air.

[milkyway21]

there was one time in the playoffs the Spurs lost to the LA Lakers and one article mentioned Tim Duncan went home alone. I mean separated from his crew.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Remember in 2006, when there was news footage or something of just two guys showing up for the Mavs plane at the airport? :lmao?

this thread makes me proud. (Except for the dude who said he wanted to throw trash at Manu)

[wijayas]

Sure!!!!

[stealth21]

Hopefully you can get 20 to 25 fans to meet them at the airport! :lol

We're not talking about Blazer fans here loser.
Obviously you don't know Spur fan very well.

Only 5 people showed up. It was sad. One of the player's car stalled. Tim and Pop also had a lengthy discussion at Tim's car before they left.

It might have been better if people didn't get mixed up with the timings. Still, I'd probably have camped out there if I were given one chance. :lol Spurs fans in San Antonio, I hope you all realize just how lucky you are to call these Spurs players one of your own. They are special. And there are many of us out here who have never seen, or rarely seen any of them.

[iflyabeech]

hey read my previous posts! it appears that they are flying on the knicks plane, and the owner has previously blocked public flight tracking. (not a one time thing)

[Kathyladora]

I just took a chance and went down there with a friend, don't work til 2pm, so I figured what the heck! I've never done anything of the sort, so I had to ask a shuttle driver, who seemed hesitant to give me any information, but he did, then we asked the cashier at the parking thing, and she told us different directions, but she told us that she heard on the radio that they weren't coming til the morning. We went anyways. First to the place she told us, it was wrong, then we followed his directions. We got there just as the plane stopped moving. One of the guys there told us they announced on the radio that the plane would land around 3. We just got lucky, I guess.

Wow. Good for you. That was some luck. Did you get to see the others? Or just Tim and Pop?
