AU Recruiting Airplane?

[PokerJokerAU 0]

I'm sure they fly in and out of AUO...the Auburn/Opelika Airport, but does anyone know the callsign of the plane(s) the recruiters use? Or do they fly commercially? I'm an Air Traffic Controller and can probably find out some info on where they are going if someone knows the callsign and knows they are out on a trip...the info should be available to the public too...I just know a few good places to look, plus a few other resources that i have access to.

I can't remember the exact call sign but ive talked to 1 of them before as they were headed to fort Lauderdale. I think it was like N10AU or something to that effect. I know its a citation.

Hmm....looking at AUO's recent flights and there hasnt been a citation depart with anything like that callsign recently...im looking back to tuesday and dont see anything....is there another callsign maybe or another airport they would use? im pretty sure they fly into/out of AUO though since it is HIGHLY supported by the university...

Well nevermind...that IS the callsign bud...ur right!!! What im looking at right now wont show me anything cuz it is available to the general public...and they dont have its info available to the general public due to the owners request for it not to be seen....

However...I should be able to look via other methods but their flight plan would have to either be proposed or still active....one that has already arrived at its destination won't have any information still stored in the NAS system...

When I look the call sign of N10AU up it says "This aircraft (N10AU) is not available for tracking per request from the owner/operator"

LOL...not to the general public, but he HAS to talk to ATC if he's on an IFR flight plan which means info on where they are going HAS to be in the NAS system.

Poker -

I hope you're not willing to lose your job over this..You seem to walking an ethical line that I am sure many would question..That is, if I am understanding your posts correctly...Be smart.

Well I cant get fired for looking at a flight plan...thanks for the concern tho...i wont be posting anything about their flight plans  on a message board either...but it's well within my rights as a controller to look up aircraft that will or may enter my airspace...its not freaking Air Force One after all...lol....seriously though i do appreciate your concern, but just so long as I don't share any information about a flight plan there is nothing illegal or unethical about it IMO...i WAS hoping the info would be available on FlightAware, but since its not...any info i DO get, I will unfortunately be unable to post about.  :'(

I can, however, share info that I gain from other sources! Especially if the info is shown to be credible by other means!!!

We'll just keep all your info in a "hypothetical situation"

LOL, well im pretty sure that visits that are made by Auburn are really no secret within a day or 2 of them happening...so i dont really think that any info i get will be of THAT much use, ya know? It will just be exciting for me....especially if I see them flying through or over my airspace on the way to see Latt!!!

I work near the O/A airport and the AU plane does take off and land a lot.  We counted 6 take offs in 1 day last week.
