CC: Flightaware Blocked

Submitted by Paly33 on

Pretty funny but for all of you flight trackers out there the famous UM plane from past searches has been blocked.  Even though its not an offical school plane, its still humourous that they decided to block their whereabouts.

 

Bad news for coaching search stalkers. Michigan's private plane has been blocked on FlightAware. https://flightaware.com/live/flight/N582CJ

I am a short journey away in the Eureka and Middlebelt area, so I can definitely scout out Metro for the blog if needed, should the folks flying the plane make a slight alteration in their course. If needed, I know someone who lives up by Oakland in Pontiac in case they try to be super-stealth.

You're almost as old as I am (LS&A, '74).  But I can't say I haven't missed games.  (I lived in Europe for four years and lost interest in things in this hemisphere.)  I did make it to the '77 Rose Bowl, the one against USC in which Bo belatedly told Rick Leach and Jimmy Smith to try to win the game by passing.  It was also the game in which our mike backer knocked Ricky Bell out of the game (we heard the crack three-quarters of the way up the bleachers)--and Charles White came in to keep us under their cleats.

Still, at a time like this, the guy that owns the plane could have one hell of a time joking around with Michigan fans. Or even if, say, this particular alum flew out to Aspen to go skiing, I can totally imagine someone taking notice and within 15 minutes the internets and blogs and twitters would be blowing up about Bob Stitt being Michigan's next coach. Wouldn't even matter if Colorado School of Mines is like 200 miles from Aspen.

and see to find this.... Departures from Willow. This link shows which planes are scheduled and to be scheduled to depart from Willow Run each day. It also has links for Arrivals. If I am not mistaken UM charter service is from Kalitta Charters. I could be wrong, correct me if I am wrong. It also states the Planes flight number, which I am sure most of you all know what number you are looking for. Kind of fun just to peek at every day.

An answer, at least in part.  

Can't one of our fine computer engineers/scientists do a workaround and unblock the plane's travel plans?

Makes you wonder if the folks in the AD read Mgoblog, although flight tracking is widespread.\\

Maybe the students could protest that blocking the plane is depriving them of one of their more fun pasttimes. Schlissel being very pro-student might concur.
