Private airfield, probably not much parking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobillsinytown Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 It would be a nice gesture but I think because of the significance of this weekend to Jim and his family, it's probably better to send him a letter or email....or better yet make a donation to his foundation.

Agreed. The better time to meet his plane is when he comes home after being declared cancer free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtbag Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 graham is reporting that the family gave him permission to share the date and time. and given this tweet from jill kelly, it certainly sounds like they're encouraging people to show up: https://twitter.com/HJKforever/status/457513676249907200/photo/1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DallasBillsFan1 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Leave them alone. Show your support in other ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRQ_BillsFan Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Leave them alone. Show your support in other ways. Sounds to me like she wants people to meet him and show our support. As I am at Busch gardens in Tampa I don't think I can make it. But I hope there is a decent showing of support. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBUffalo Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I haven't seen a single person say they're going. Pretty disappointing, and I'm sure the family will feel the same way. For those saying "leave them alone..." They're ASKING for people to show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbb Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Tim Graham @ByTimGraham 33m Jim Kelly's route'll be Prior Aviation and 33 twrd downtown. Dan Kelly on fans being there: "I know it would me a lot to him. He needs it." Tim Graham @ByTimGraham 36m Dan Kelly on Jim Kelly's weekend: "He's had a rough few days, but he decided to come home anyway because this is an emotional battle, too."

bbb Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Jill Kelly @HJKforever 7m NYC has been good to us. BUT...there's no place like HOME! No place like Buffalo! #weLOVEyou… http://instagram.com/p/m-82wvLI6T/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blzrul Posted April 19, 2014 Author Share Posted April 19, 2014 Actually there's an article with a tweet that implies it would mean a lot to Kelly and family to have a turnout. I shared it in Shoutbox, probably a mistake since they seem to all think it's Facebook or something, talking about cats and cookies and crap. But, carry on.

Chandler#81 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Agreed. The better time to meet his plane is when he comes home after being declared cancer free. This flight is a sure thing. I would be there if I still lived in WNY. Hoping there is a nice turnout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-9 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 This flight is a sure thing. I would be there if I still lived in WNY. Hoping there is a nice turnout. Me, too. Which is what I indicated in my second post when learning the family was actually encouraging people to come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsShredder83 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 So did I meet any of you up there? Somebody from here had to have been there! Solid turnout there will be pics up on Bb.com later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike in Syracuse Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 This is an odd situation. Why try to get everyone out to the airport? It doesn't seem like Jim had any intentions of greeting the fans. I don't blame him one bit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
