FSU's booster jet spends weeks each year at the Orlando jet shop

Seminole Boosters' Citation X keeps flying to Orlando and sitting still. The reason is maintenance, not the recruiting trail.

N199FS, the Citation X owned by Florida State's Seminole Boosters, flew from Tallahassee to Orlando International on April 22 and did not leave for about 51 days. It is a routine the jet repeats: another stay of roughly 34 days ran through last fall. Orlando is home to Textron Aviation's Citation Service Center, the manufacturer's own maintenance and overhaul shop for Cessna Citations. A booster jet parked there for weeks is being worked on, not flown. The pattern matters because it is shared across the sport. Alabama's foundation jet and a Florida booster Citation use the same Orlando shops on the same offseason calendar.
