  1. Yeah, I like this one. And not that I'm not watching closely for direct flights, but the plane in question also having multiple stops in Vegas (in addition to Columbus, OH, and being at Van Nuys currently) aligns with what we're hearing from ironclad sources such as FCB and the Squid.
  2. Now's the time to be looking for planes implies I stopped at some point in the last 140+ hours.
  3. Nope, I tried digging into it and I believe the listed owner is actually NetJets - appears that their fractional-ownership model is different from some of their competitors such that NetJets shows up as owner even though behind the curtain 2+ actual people own it (not NetJets). At least that's what I've gleaned. Edit: Unfortunate consequence of that is no individual's names listed in the registry, and registered address are all NetJet offices/locations. That info is what has given enough breadcrumbs to track down on other flights we've identified owners of.
  4. Checked real quick and only other was Reggie, who had his Fox-Sports-branded Surface up. Urban had his personal iPad. And yes I realize this is scraping the bottom of the barrel, just thought it was mildly interesting. In b4 futureman.
  5. Funny enough that reminds me, could have sworn I noticed that (at least at one point) Urban had a tablet in front of him on the round-table while no-one else did, and that he appeared to be kind of keeping it in his peripheral while totally tuning out the jabber of others on the panel. Not sure if that happened or I'm making it up (or, if it happened, whether that's even unusual practice for him).
  6. You can tell when they're misdirection when, for example, the destination for Flight 1 doesn't line up with the departure location for Flight 2. You can piece it together though. That's not what's happening here. Assuming for the sake of the argument this plane is involved in the coaching search, the flight path suggests to me that they're rounding people up from each location to bring them back to Austin for an aligned purpose. Otherwise, why fly out of the way to Dallas first instead of going directly to Austin having whatever BSDs are Dallas get their own plane to town?
  7. Also, the plane I posted about earlier this week that went Las Vegas --> Bermuda Dunes (Palm Springs/La Quinta area) is back to being of interest. It's at Van Nuys in LA right now. Tonight's flight log shows Van Nuys to Houston. Tomorrow's shows a trips to Sugar Land on to Dallas, then final leg to Austin with touch-down late afternoon.
  8. This is the plane I'm keeping my eye on. It's the one that went tOSU to HSB on Thursday. It's in Palm Beach now and has a trip tomorrow to Van Nuys showing up on the upcoming flight ledger.
  9. Ones that stump me are the bus through the cactus (between the hook 'em and the 777 slots).
  10. Didn't overlap with Urban at either stop, but think it's a good of a prediction as any given there don't appear to be any direct ties to Urban on their staff. A surprising number of Baylor/TX and NFL folks though given the location.
  11. Going to give myself a pat on the back for calling Caltury on Monday.
  12. It's funny you mention that, because one thing I've noticed in a few flights this week (that otherwise would have had flight itineraries of interest) is that there are quite a few with stops in Teterboro, NJ airport before heading back down south. One that comes to mind hit Austin, Peachtree, Columbus OH and Teterboro, IIRC. There were one or two others as well. To this point I've just been dismissing and closing the tabs for those flights thinking, "New Jersey doesn't have shit to do with this," but maybe you're on to something. Maybe we're poaching a Rutgers coach, and it's not like they have anything to play for / they could give a definitive answer.
  13. So they're offering $12MM a year, like us, to go to the a place whose fans rabidly hate Urban to their core, in a frozen tundra so frigid it'll freeze Shelley's tits off, to coach in the B10 and coach against his ex-college and true love? Only difference being more years on the contract, which as we know for Urban is probably a downside, if not a wash? Yeah, gotta like dem odds.
  14. Transactional attorney like a majority of the surly degenerates. You offering a job that's half as interesting as sleuthing and tracking flights? Not saying I'm looking around but there's a reason I'm elbows deep in FlightAware logs instead of the work piling up all week.
  15. Sounds like you know more than me about actual planes, I just track them down. Re the stowable table (assume that's the table stored in what runs along the edges of the plane), noticed the same though looked to me like they ripped the table out in favor of wider seats. As for rationale being weak generally, that wasn't my argument. My argument was that the carl-photographed plane was an F50, the bones lined up and there is only ATX-owned F50 and it's flying to of all places Manhattan, KS and Palm Springs, CA. And in my mind all this is intellectual exercise because the dude who posted the photo confirmed it's the freakin' plane.
  16. Yes, clearly different seats, along with a number of other changes. All renovations post-2015 purchase - you can swap out seats. As said, the bones are the same, including the seat configuration. Not to mention there aren't a ton of F 50s out there flying around (they were also discontinued over 10 years ago), particularly those registered to TX owners. In fact, there's a single F50 (of any year) registered to an Austin owner. This one.
  17. Haha pretty much. Not gonna lie, probably the last deep investigation I'll do. Will still be tracking planes...obviously.
  18. Forget it, they're rolling. I'm confident it is. And the person who posted the plane in the first place confirmed it a few pages ago. Would love to hear your basis for thinking it's not.
  19. I'll read that as confirmation, with the prize being more @hornfromdallas intel.
  20. No idea. The owner(s) have their hands in TONs of different kinds of businesses both in and outside of TX, so best guess would be something related to that/ wth knows. But the main part of the post was the ownership and belief that it's the glizzy plane, the CA destination is a kicker.
  21. Dude's involved in a lot of stuff but can't find anything concrete. And doesn't appear that the new ownership group at IT was made public other than that it's "a small group of successful professionals, whose expertise spans world-wide entertainment, law, investment banking, and sports marketing."
  22. Ha, not the first time I've gotten that in this thread. This coaching search just has my interest like everyone else and the plane stuff is a fun way to pass the time between burgers/worst town/BBQ discussion and actual developments.
