Teterboro, NJ??
Interesting bit that I found in the Daily article regarding Harbaugh's arrival at DTW. The plane was originally headed to Teterboro, NJ and was diverted to DTW. I searched the blog for this place but was only able to find very old posts.
Can anyone shine some light on this?
P.S. not worried about original destination, was just curious.

It was a smokescreen to keep stalkers like us from tracking it.

Aircrew file an IFR (instrument flight rules) flight plan before departure, but can amend it at almost anytime, mid-flight.
One can also take off VFR (visual flight rules), fly around under those flight rules, and then pick up an IFR clearance giving the aircraft ATC handling for the duration of the flight.

They know that crazy people (which is to say us) would track the flight and were trying to throw off the scent.

Adam Schefter just tweeted: "Michigan plane diverted to NJ. Looks like the Jets have found their man!"

Clearly he was headed to take the Jets job and had a last second change of heart.

Teterboro Airport was used by Jerry Jones in 2002 to conduct his three hour interview with Bill Parcells before Parcells came back to coaching with the Cowboys. Its small size and proximity to East Rutherford make it a favorite of NFL owners looking to interview New York based candidates.

No big deal, 57% of all planes headed for NJ change their mind mid-flight.

That percentage seems low.

for a little while to remind yourself what one was like, do it. Seek counseling. :)

Dantonio and Meyer hijacked the plane and tried to deliver Harbaugh to the Jets, but Harbaugh beat their asses and flew to Detroit

I live about 25 minutes from there. It's the main airport for private jets that belong to bigwigs and stars who stay in NYC. It's like 10 min fron Manhattan.
