CC - Anyone Know if the U of M Plane is Near the Orange Bowl
I kind of remember that some of the MGoblog community were tracking U of M planes on recruiting trips. If Harbaugh is the one, I wonder if he might do what the new Maryland hire, Randy Edsall, did and fly to Ann Arbor or wherever they keep the plane after tonight's game.
So, if you know the plane's ID number and a tracking website, you MIGHT have a scoop.

it's stuck in a holding pattern waiting for santa's sleigh to make an emergency landing

Time to fire up FlightAware!
This brings back memories....
January 3rd, 2011 at 8:11 PM ^
N64DC, the aircraft that RR had been using for recruiting, has been in Winnipeg for 8 weeks according to FlightAware.

DB IS GOING INTERNATIONAL WITH THIS COACHING CHOICE

Does Toronto have a CFL team?
January 3rd, 2011 at 8:33 PM ^
I am welling up with pride here. The people on this message board take it to a higher level.

He's stopping in AA to pick up his free Dominoes pizza. He is just a smidge out of the delivery limits.
January 3rd, 2011 at 8:29 PM ^
freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Pizza
January 3rd, 2011 at 8:11 PM ^
I think I saw the helicopter fly over earlier today, heading in a Southern trajectory.
January 3rd, 2011 at 8:17 PM ^
That is not a good thing.

Nice Avatar!

NSFWoH!

NSFH? you need to tell your moms to go to bed, dawg!

Cut me some slack...this type of tracking was done several times during recruiting. I would think this is at least as relevant as the other thousands of post on CC or trying to track a coach talking to a recruit.
Well, maybe not - hope this ends soon so I can resume normal work habits. I check here about every 30 minutes....billing is going to hell.
Here is a plane that would work...not owned by the U of M but obviously suitable.

He's going to hire a Hooter's Airline jet to sneak JH past all you busybodies!
January 3rd, 2011 at 8:27 PM ^
What Edsall did was classless, not to mention gutless. He called the team and told them he was leaving on the phone because he had already flown out. I certainly hope Harbaugh wouldn't do anything like that. I can wait another day for him to do the right thing and fly back with his team and tell them in person.

What color underwear do I have on?
January 3rd, 2011 at 9:00 PM ^
Down the back middle portion!
January 3rd, 2011 at 9:05 PM ^
Odds are they're basic white cotton underpants. Maybe they're silk panties. Maybe it's a thong. Maybe something cool I don't even know about. What? What I thought we were in the trust tree.... in the nest.
January 3rd, 2011 at 8:57 PM ^
But this plane was spotted not far from the orange bowl
January 3rd, 2011 at 9:01 PM ^
Sweet!
January 3rd, 2011 at 9:23 PM ^
and hang it on your wall.
January 3rd, 2011 at 9:03 PM ^
Recently departed from Ann Arbor...
January 3rd, 2011 at 9:05 PM ^
But Elway is there. I'm sure it's strictly in his capacity as a Stanford alumnus. Nothing at all to do with the Broncos, of course.
/FML
January 3rd, 2011 at 9:17 PM ^
or at the very least that DB has tested his BlackBerry
January 3rd, 2011 at 9:24 PM ^
Our private B2 is on the runway in Miami but you can't see it, because it's Stealth.
January 3rd, 2011 at 9:39 PM ^
It was actually the UM plane that did the flyover before the game.
January 3rd, 2011 at 10:17 PM ^
Michigan now has its own satellite (http://rax.engin.umich.edu/) and we are planning on beating Elway to the punch by beaming Harbaugh directly from the Orange Bowl locker room to DB's office.

Space.

actually found a link about an agreement about brandon still using domino's aircraft
https://techagreements.com/agreement-preview.aspx?search=govlaw&gov=27&…
http://www.footnoted.com/my-big-fat-deal/freshly-baked-employment-agree…
"he keeps the right to use his “Yearly Aircraft Hours” on the company’s plane through the end of FY 2011, or until he stops serving on Dominos’ board."
flight tracker shows it was in jacksonville for bowl game, and stop at willow run a few times
http://flightaware.com/live/flight/N220DF/history
also this site can search FAA by register name, or company name, or register location etc.
http://www.aircraftone.com/search.asp?type=rn
So i first searched "related", which is supposed to be Stephen Ross's company from Wikipedia. It yielded 2 planes, both stopped at willow run during game days
http://flightaware.com/live/flight/N510SR/history
http://flightaware.com/live/flight/N765XJ/history
from this former post http://mgoblog.com/content/rich-rodriguez-has-left-stallworth-house
it was mentioned that "chase equipment" is a company that leases plane for coaches
it yielded alot of results from aircraftone.com ; however, some of those on the list have hidden their flight track info on flight aware, however, among those info not hidden, one has flown frequently from willow run
http://flightaware.com/live/flight/N510SD/history
I don't think it's a coincidence that it stopped flying from Dec 21 to Jan 3 (the recruiting dead period)
During my search for "chase equipment", i think i found WMU's recruiting plane too
http://flightaware.com/live/flight/N373WP/history
i also did a search based on planes register to ann arbor, but there are too many
I know this might be a bit creepy, and it's my first post too (usually just read, don't post), but i'm too boring in a hotel in san francisco (ye i visited stanford stadium lol) during winter break, heading back to aa tmr for another semester
