why would nd block there own plane from being tracked, and then use a trackable plane or fly commercial? doesnt make sense. Swarbrick is adamant about confidentiality.

not only that if you look at the history of this plane it has gone to that airport long before there was any speculation about Charlie and his job.

i think we are just grasping at straws

this plane belongs to a wealthy automotive family from the SB area.....the same family that owns several dealership franchises in Davenport...the same dealerships sold to them by Johhny Lujack a few years ago...so relax everyone.....purely business use i would think.

It would make sense to use a different plane than ND. I'm sure the press core and ESPN have all the local airports in the "canidates" towns staked out looking for ND's plane.

I don't know if they are using this plane but it would make sense for then to not be using ND's. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if they were meeting people at a neutral site like Iowa, a small airport in the middle of the country away from aggressive big city reporters to hold negotiations.

good point...this same family is tight with ND...supplies them with FLEETS of automobiles..who knows.....they have 15 dealerships in Davenport.....and are headquartered in SB....i'm sure the local SB press knows of this plane/relationship as well, i'm sure if swarbrick was using....we'd know by now

Swarbrick doesn't have to be at the negotiations just the lawyers and agent.

My company has private plane that flies in and out of this airport and they usually load and disembark in plane's hanger where the cars are parked, very handy during the cold months. I'm sure that this plane they are using will have the same accommodations for their flyers.
I also have noticed an uptick in Stoops rumors on the 1st and today, which happens to be the days this plane keeps going to and from Iowa.

Guys, Joseph Ratzinger is going to be the next head coach. My sources have told me that he signed a contract this morning and will announce it tonight.

Wait a minute, he's German-Catholic, not Irish-Catholic. I call shenanigans!

You thought it stunk to get banned from IE. Wait until someone criticizes Coach Chavez. You'll wish you were only banned.

The plane was taken off FlightAware as per the request of the University sometime last year.
That's interesting. The NBAA site states that the owner can request tracking turned off for a month at a time. They must keep renewing the request each month. I wonder if that costs $ ? (Not that it matters much to a $5+ B endowment..)

I just reviewed the flights for 365GL since Aug 28 this year. (You can do it on FlightAware too, if you're bored. Registration is free.)
Lots and lots of trips to Iowa (during the season I would point out), and a few to vacation spots (Vegas, Palm Springs, Orlando, Fort Myers).

Even a trip to Ann Arbor. (Does that add RichRod to the list?)

I think this aircraft is on company business, and probably gets subleased by more than 1 company. The destinations and timing do not look like ND FB missions.

(I will however admit that I am not a trained professional, and did not stay in a Holiday Inn Express recently.)
