Recruiting plane

I highly HIGHLY doubt they use private planes to fly on recruiting trips. That being said I don't know if or how much the university uses their plane. I have never seen one registered to ISU pop up on flightaware. If we are blocking our university plane on flightaware I guess they really don't want us to know where we are going.

There were numerous games of Kiah Stokes that could look at the Eastern Iowa Airport (Cedar Rapids) on flightaware and see several planes registered to universities that were transporting their coaches back and forth so they could be at practice go see her play then fly right back. That being said I didn't ever really see any for the coaches coming to see Harrison play.

I know that four years ago we were tracking the ISU plane on flightaware, trying to figure out who the new football coach would be. The Chiz/Jamie fooled us by Chiz showing up in Troy Aikman's jet. It wasn't too long after that that ISU had the tail number of the ISU plane blocked on flightaware.
 
In other news there is a Super King Air enroute to Ames from Lawrence, it's obviously not team or coaches but the registration is to TripleFour KU LLC
 
This might be available.

Don't know about a private jet for recruiting, but CPR and Bobby Elliott flew to California on a regular jet (and not first class) to recruit juco players the day after Thanksgiving.

I'm pretty sure this is how most coaches travel for recruiting trips. A couple years ago I sat next to John Calapari in coach on a flight from Memphis to Chicago and from the phone calls he was making prior to take-off, it was obvious he was going to visit recruits.
