N851FS, a second Citation owned by Florida State's Seminole Boosters, flew from Tallahassee to Orlando International on April 12 and stayed about ten days. The destination is the Textron Aviation Citation Service Center, the same Orlando maintenance base its larger stablemate, the Citation X N199FS, visits for weeks at a time. Two jets from one athletic department's foundation, both servicing in Orlando, is the everyday side of college football's air fleet. It is not recruiting. It is upkeep on expensive airplanes, scheduled into the quiet months.
