Flight Tracking Part Deux
It is that time again! As originally tweeted by VarsityBlue. What we have here is a flight heading from Ann Arbor to Hollywood, Fl (which is slightly north of Miami). Gee....Could DB be on the flight? Or Perhaps MSC too? Or it could just be some researchers heading down the U.

One of those flights needs to be to Orlando.

If someone like Maria Menunos can have photographers following her around taking photos of her lady parts at the beach, Brandon and Mary Sue Coleman should at least have one MGoMember following each of them with a camera too, right? C'mon people! Lets do this!

January 4th, 2011 at 12:49 PM ^
I nominate Rescue_Dawn. I hear he's doing garbage detail at MSC's house.
January 4th, 2011 at 1:18 PM ^
As long as we're splitting up responsibilities, I'll volunteer to forgo the 24/7 CC chatter and take the Maria Menunos assignment.
I know, I know, it's gonna be tough, but somebodys gotta do it.

This is also the backyard of one Wayne Lyons.
January 4th, 2011 at 12:20 PM ^
Wayne is not at home this week. He is practicing for Army All-American Game in San Antonio I believe.
January 4th, 2011 at 12:25 PM ^
I can see him through the window.
January 4th, 2011 at 12:28 PM ^
is being picked up from his winter home; he is coming out of retirement.
January 4th, 2011 at 12:40 PM ^
are we there yet?
January 4th, 2011 at 12:48 PM ^
Mystery plane is officially out of the worst state ever.
January 4th, 2011 at 12:55 PM ^
detnews is reporting RR meets with DB at 2pm.
any way to check how many people are aboard that plane?
telling news would be if more return than it left with.
January 4th, 2011 at 1:02 PM ^
"Hollywood" is the main Fort Lauderdale airport.
This is actually its first flight at 469RJ; it landed at Willow Run yesterday as 469AL! For what it's worth, it is Ypsilanti based, and gets around a lot, although I can see no connection to UM or the football program in general. Perhaps someone with a better font of knowledge can suss out any relation between the destinations and the athletic department.
January 4th, 2011 at 2:16 PM ^
Looks like this plane is going to Van Nuys. California after its stop in Florida
January 4th, 2011 at 3:11 PM ^
That's the part that makes me thinks Michigan officials are on the plane. Why would random people fly from Willow Run to Miami, and only stop for 90 minutes then continue on to California? That makes no sense.
January 4th, 2011 at 2:17 PM ^
please fasten your safety belts and return tray tables to their upright position.
we have begun our descent and will be landing in 34 minutes.
weather in hollywood florida is party cloudy and 76 degrees.
thank you for flying coaching carousel airlines!

is it true 971 is saying people have spotted harbaugh in city airport in detroit?
January 5th, 2011 at 4:27 PM ^
If Harbaugh were flying into this area, I strongly strongly doubt he would fly into Detroit City Airport.
January 5th, 2011 at 6:02 PM ^
January 7th, 2011 at 1:26 PM ^
You really needed the board to set you straight on that one?
January 4th, 2011 at 3:58 PM ^
is it true 971 is saying people have spotted harbaugh in city airport in detroit?
if not, id send LC on the plane to bring JH back. serious.
January 5th, 2011 at 4:34 PM ^
You realize LC and JH are not the best of friends, right?
January 5th, 2011 at 6:05 PM ^
January 5th, 2011 at 5:17 PM ^
he wouldn't be in city airport for 1
2 - he's meeting with the 49ers today.
January 5th, 2011 at 4:21 PM ^
tuberville?
January 5th, 2011 at 5:24 PM ^
Plane just landed in Lubbock.
Could be a secret meeting with Gary Patterson. Or it could just be a pit stop on the way to Cali.
Also, flight plans shows a trip to Palm Springs. Is that the possible rendezvous pt with *gulp* Hoke?
January 5th, 2011 at 6:12 PM ^
January 5th, 2011 at 5:35 PM ^
I have weird theory about Al Golden since it appears Joe Paterno will NEVER go away.
Actually, that wouldn't be a bad hire, I don't think.
January 5th, 2011 at 5:37 PM ^
Isn't Golden in Miami?
January 5th, 2011 at 5:39 PM ^
Yeah. I forgot that he was already hired away from Temple. Ffft.
Too bad. He'd have been good.
January 5th, 2011 at 6:11 PM ^
Well, the plane was indeed in Lubbock only to fuel up. It's back in the air and on the way to Van Nuys.
Van Nuys is the busiest general aviation airport in the world. It's used by Hollywood celebs, etc, because of its privacy and secrecy.
From there, its onto Palm Springs.

Stephen Ross is apparently flying to CA to make a last-ditch pitch for Harbaugh. Whether it's for UM or the Dolphins is unknown.
January 5th, 2011 at 10:26 PM ^
just saw this..not sure if true or not
"Sources close to Stanford coach Jim Harbaugh tell FRM that Michigan is not completely out the picture."
January 5th, 2011 at 10:34 PM ^
Seems to be Dolphins, as the GM is with them too:
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=5993761&campaign=rss&source=NFLHeadlines
Addtionally, from the article:
Ross, who is one of Michigan's largest benefactors, was assured by a Michigan official that Harbaugh was not reciprocating interest in the college's now-vacant head coaching position.
January 6th, 2011 at 4:25 AM ^

I think that earlier comment about Miami with harbaugh is true.
From my extensive flight aware search earlier (see last comment in thread)
http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/cc-anyone-know-if-u-m-plane-near-orange-bowl
that plane should be
http://flightaware.com/live/flight/N510SR/history
if you don't have flightaware account, i suggest registering a free one, and you can see the activity of past 4 months. "Related" companies, owned by Stephen Ross, has 2 gulfstream planes and have visited Ann Arbor on gamedays (see willow run stops)
One of them is this N510SR
Another interesting bit, the N220DF plane shared by Brandon and Domino's (again, see the orange bowl plane thread for explanation), had just visited Chicago Executive airport, one of the closest airport to evanston, IL .... Not saying that it means pat fitzgerald but certainly interesting.
January 6th, 2011 at 4:17 PM ^
is now en route to Scottsdale, AZ. http://flightaware.com/live/flight/N220DF
You know what this means?
DB is going after Scottsdale Communicty College defensive coordinator and special teams coach turned head coach Doug Madoski.

January 6th, 2011 at 9:02 PM ^
Dennis Erickson?
January 6th, 2011 at 9:14 PM ^
Or, Mike Stoops?
January 7th, 2011 at 12:36 AM ^
A poster on scout claims DB is supposed to meet with JH in Scottsdale tomorrow. DB has a vacation home in Scottsdale, Arizona. (this is a fact)
January 7th, 2011 at 6:02 AM ^
That plane was also in Jacksonville for the Gator Bowl, made a stop in Chicago yesterday (right before the Pat Fitzgerald staying at Northwestern tweets started?). I think the Gruden rumor is batcrazy but he'll be in the Scottsdale/Glendale area to do the national championship game on ESPN Radio. Hopefully DB fellates JH on the 50 yard line during the halftime show and JH retires when he's 87 with 40 wins against OSU.
January 7th, 2011 at 9:03 AM ^
And there's rumors the guest room just had the bathroom remodeled.
January 7th, 2011 at 2:12 PM ^
How about Bed, Bath and Beyond? Did they have enough time?
January 6th, 2011 at 9:53 PM ^
Probably just headed to the national championship game
January 6th, 2011 at 11:54 PM ^
for real.
January 7th, 2011 at 2:19 PM ^
You can run and tell that, homeboy.
January 7th, 2011 at 3:43 PM ^
Dave and i are gonna eats cheeseburgers at his house!
Get ready for the Hoke
