You linked the photo incorrectly. You cannot directly embed the photo from your google mail.

Try uploading it to imgur or something similar and embedding the photo using that link. 

EDIT: Nevermind. Thanks!

There's an airport in Starkville and several closer than Jackson.  Any airport can handle a small private jet.  U of M doesn't have an A380.

Golden Triange Region Airport (GTR) and its 8000ft runway beg to differ. (It's 105 miles closer to Starkville)

The plane belongs to Rich Rogel- one of the "big baller" alumni donors to the University. It is his personal aircraft, not associated with the University.

There are quite a few folks in Ann Arbor that own private jets.  Wouldn't UM lease one rather that use a university jet (if in fact that is a UM plane) in the best interests of confidentiality?

I've just about had enough with these wise guy millionaires who think they can screw with our heart strings by flying around the countries in planes with this color scheme thus confusing the fine folk from Farmington who frequent this site.

Damn you all to heck.

(just in case /s)

You're all wrong. We're first going after a new AD. Since the previous CEO of Domino's didn't work out for Michigan, we are flying down to the Bay Area to go after Linda A. Lang. AKA CEO of Jack in the Box.
