Alabama's jet left Orlando on July 28 after a seven-week service stay

N1UA, the Crimson Tide Foundation's Citation Sovereign, flew from Orlando International home to Tuscaloosa on July 28, 2025, ending about 49 days parked at Textron Aviation's Citation Service Center. The Orlando stay that began June 9 was offseason maintenance at the manufacturer's overhaul shop for the type, not travel. Its June arrival had coincided with NACDA convention week in Orlando, but the jet stayed seven weeks, far longer than any convention. The same pattern repeats in 2026: the jet flew to Orlando in June and went quiet again. For N1UA, a long Orlando summer is a trip to the shop.
