- The CS to Blacksburg flight is where all the smoke should be. That's a rare flight to make IMO.
Who the hell else flies from College Station Texas to Roanoke Virginia?
Roanoke is 47 miles from Blacksburg.
ITS HAPPENING!!!

How long do you want to ignore this user?
Could this just be in-home visit with one of our LB targets, Ricky DeBerry from the Richmond, VA area? I don't think so since Roanoke is about 3 hours away from Richmond.

Winner. See TexAgs IS smart!
So much going on!
Doubtful that the flight from Meachum to CS had any coaches on it. I could see them driving up there for the meeting with Malik, no plane needed. The only times they use the swagcopter are when they have to get back for a game. Not the case today.
Flight from CS to Roanoke is probably Hyman, no coaches needed for that flight. AD goes to pick up Foster, flies back tonight for a PC tomorrow

Is there not an airport at all in Blacksburg?

There is. Probably why this is a non story.
So why couldn't this plane land at the small regional airport in Blacksburg? Somebody find out where Bud lives.
quote:Damn. When you fly private you can usually land just about anywhere. Unless there is a netjets deal going on with Roanoke airport.quote:Really small regional airport...

Black Dog Salvage is in Roanoke

quote:i think brice's post on premium is from 12:30ish. the tweet i saw from him i thought was around the same time, iirc. but i think it is unlikely sumlin is on that plane regardless. i like the theory about it being having been sent by netjets from fort worth to pick up someone in CLL given where in DFW it came from, but i guess it's all guesswork at this point anyway.quote:Brice tweeted about the sumlin / Malik meeting before Malik did IIRC.

malik posted the photo of himself and sumlin at 11:40am this morning. that plane took off from meacham at 11:39am. either malik takes forever to tweet photos or sumlin wasn't on that plane.
but mesquite to meacham is an hour drive, so malik could have waited a while after the meeting... or this plane is just being sent from meacham to CLL to pick up somebody else from our AD to fly out there. i don't know. rumor is that Sumlin has a liberty bowl press thing to be at at 4:30pm this afternoon, and i'm not sure he can miss that.
May not want everyone at VT to know we are coming. I am sure it would get out quick if A&M officials landed at the VT airport.
Google map it yourself. Blacksburg's airport is tiny. Roanoke's Airport is called Roanoke-Blacksburg Regional Airport.

I lived in Blacksburg for 3 years and everyone flies out of Roanoke.
Looks like Foster lives on or near Claytor Lake, in a town called Draper, VA. He's got a Facebook page with a lot of historical photos over the years, looks like a down-home country boy livin life looking for his next gig!! This area is about 30 minutes from VA Tech straight shot on Hwy 81.

Why cant KDS fly straight from DFW?
picked up wife

Which are both much closer to Mesquite. That's like flying to Georgetown to get to south Austin.
Some people do that.

and they are less than an hour apart. Blacksburg airport is called Virginia Tech Montgomory Executive Airport. As the name suggests it is on the Virginia Tech Campus.
What if the photo wasn't taken with Malik's phone, and was sent to him by whoever took the photo? Could explain the timing.
Agreed. It likely doesn't matter.
They key point is it is extremely rare for the flight to go between KCLL and KROA (Roanoke) regardless of who is on the flight.

This could be Sumlin flying to Memphis for the Liberty Bowl thing:

Y'all know Sumlin is on a plane to Memphis right?
Guys.. if you zoom in on the highlight on the trophy in the picture Malik tweeted and run it through a few algorithms to enhance it you can totally see who is taking the picture!

That is likely exactly what is happening.
Yea, but I doubt Kevin Sumlin is the one going to get the papers sign. Probably AD or an attorney.

I have access to an almost real time satellite feed from my BIL who is a meteorologist. If the satellite is in the right area, I might be able to check the airport out. What time should I try?
