Whenever A-Rod feels the need to “opt-out” of an unfavorable situation or location, he can now do so on his shiny new mafia jet. The former Yankees slugger has just purchased a Gulfstream jet from a hotel entrepreneur whose nearest and dearest is allegedly linked to the Russian mob, a trusty source informed the New York Post.
According to The Post, “The seller of the Gulfstream IV was Arik Kislin, a principal in Manhattan's Hotel Gansevoort, whose former company once sponsored a visa sought by an alleged hit man, and whose uncle was named by the FBI as being an associate of the Brighton Beach-based Russian mob.”
Rodriguez vehemently denies such a purchase, however his handy dandy pilot, Craig Frost, says otherwise. Frost has confirmed that both he and Rodriguez purchased the plush 16- passenger plane in a partnership sometime in September.
"We've been looking for some time, and it happened to be the best plane on the market for the money," Frost said.
Frost revealed that the plane will not just be used to tote the jet setting major leaguer around, but will also be chartered out. Although Frost dished about that, he remained mum on how much was shelled out to acquire the Gulfstream.
The jet’s tail number has already been customized to A-Rod’s liking. It reads, N113AR - Rodriguez's number, 13, and his initials.
I wonder if Joslyn Morse will be a regular passenger.

MEXICO: Jet plane that crashed with 4 tons of cocaine tied to the CIA and the Russian Mafia
On September 24 a Grumman Gulfstream II jet airplane crashed near Cancun, Mexico with 4 tons of cocaine. The jet plane had been circling around the town of Tixkokob when it apparently ran out of fuel. Citizens of Tixkokob called authorities and Mexican army helicopters arrived to find the jet plane in three pieces and with 4 tons of high grade cocaine.
Mexican authorities have determined that the shipment of cocaine was to be delivered to Mexican drug cartels and have now focused on who owned the jet plane. Their preliminary findings of who owned the Gulfstream II jet plane with, tail number N987SA, now threatens to open up another Iran/Contra - CIA Crack Cocaine type scandal.
Apparently the same jet plane N987SA was used by the CIA to transport Muslim prisoners to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba in 2003, 2004 and 2005. The CIA is known to use a number of front corporate entities to hide their operations. Also, when registering their planes, they utilize a complex series of "change of ownership" filings with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in order to make it very difficult to trace the true owner of the planes they use in their operations.
The Gulfstream II jet plane with tail number N987SA was initially traced to William Achenbaum, a wealthy New York real estate tycoon. Mr. Achenbaum says that the jet plane was being managed by Air Rutter International that according to the New York Post is owned by Arik Kislin of Long Island in New York (See New York Post 'CRASH JET HAD AIR OF MYSTERY' ). Kislin and Achenbaum are principals of the Hotel Gansevoort in New York. (See New York Post 'SHADY 'INN' CROWD') Arik Kislin is the nephew of Semyon Kislin that the Center for Public Integrity alleges is a powerful Russian Mafia member. (See http://publicintegrity.org/report.aspx?aid=323 ) The Kislin family have made very large contributions to the political campaigns of Rudy Giuliani.
William Achenbaum says that he sold the plane in August to a Florida company called Donna Blue Aircraft run by Brazilians Joao Luiz Malago and Eduardo Dias Guimaraes. The two Brazilians in turn say that they sold the jet plane on September 16 to Clyde O’Connor and Greg Smith of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The Federal Aviation Administration however is saying that it was never informed of the sales and that they never issued any certificates. (Update: The FAA has now posted a temporary registration certificate to Donna Blue Aircraft dated 08/31/2007 that was to expire on 09/30/2007 but still no certificate for Clyde O’Connor or Greg Smith )
Two days after the alleged purchase, the Gulfstream II left Fort Lauderdale to Cancun, Mexico and then to Río Negro, Colombia. The jet plane loaded with the 4 tons of cocaine than left to Cancun where it crashed on September 24.
The Gulfstream II jet plane (tail number N987SA) travels to and from Guantanamo, Cuba:
30.05.03 from Oxford, CT (USA) to Guantanamo
30.05.03 from Guantanamo to Washington
12.04.04 from Washington to Guantanamo
20.01.05 from Washington to Guantanamo
20.01.05 from Guantanamo to Washington
Gina: You know I love juice! Thanks for your input.
Ms. Morse is probably lead stewardess.
Anonymous: Great investigative reporting! I wonder if the connection goes depper than previously thought...
