JET SERVICE TO ARUBA JUST GOT BETTER – AND MORE BEAUTIFUL! New York Jets Flight Crew Cheerleaders 2012 Calendar To Be Photographed In Aruba And On-Site At Radisson Aruba Resort May 23 to 28, 2011

New “Fans” Added To Radisson Aruba Resort On Facebook Through June 30, 2011 Get “Chance To Win” New York Jets Memorabilia Or Home Game Tickets


ARUBA (May 20, 2011) – There’s never been a better time to jet off to Aruba than May 23 to 28, 2011, when the New York Jets Cheerleaders, known as the Flight Crew, will be on-site at the stunning Radisson Aruba Resort to shoot their 2012 Flight Crew Calendar. The Radisson Aruba will serve as home base for the famous cheerleading squad and the resort’s lush tropical grounds will provide the location for much of the photo shoot. Resort guests will have an opportunity to meet and mingle with the Flight Crew and to watch the photo shoot, and those who become a “Fan” of the Radisson Aruba on Facebook can enter to win autographed Jets memorabilia.

Palm Beach, where the Radisson Aruba is located, is ranked the Top Beach in Aruba and was a key factor in drawing the Flight Crew to Aruba and the Radisson. The 1,500-foot expansive stretch of pristine beach will be the focal point of the shoot. Additional shoot locations at the AAA Four Diamond resort include the property’s tropical lagoons, cascading waterfalls, zero-entry free-form swimming pools, manicured tropical gardens, and its award-winning oceanfront Larimar Spa that is a favorite of spa connoisseurs.


Travelers to Aruba staying at the Radisson Aruba during the week of the shoot will be allowed to watch portions of the on-location photo sessions, and guests booked into the resort overnight May 24 will receive an invitation to a cocktail reception with a select group of cheerleaders. This special event will provide New York Jets fans and football fanatics a rare opportunity to interact with a few of the talented Flight Crew.


Jets fans unable to travel to Aruba can still join in the fun by following the action on Facebook, and anyone who becomes a “Fan” of the Radisson Aruba Resort today through June 30, 2011 will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win autographed Jets memorabilia (one winner), two tickets to a Jets game (one winner) and an autographed Jets Flight Crew calendar (five winners).
