Kirk Herbstreit’s Instagram reel shows him and Peter inside N408H beneath “Baton Rouge Bound.” The registration appears outside; the closing cabin footage shows both aboard. Posted before departure, it is direct passenger evidence—not a manifest, and not a route-based guess.
N408H left Washington Dulles at 10:59 a.m. Thursday and reached New Orleans at about 12:59 p.m. The FAA registry identifies it as a 2018 Gulfstream G280 held by Bank of Utah as trustee. Its CARES records place the primary hangar at Dulles but intentionally omit the annex naming the trust beneficiary.
ESPN assigned Herbstreit to Saturday’s Clemson–LSU game and College GameDay in Baton Rouge. The jet landed at KMSY—not Baton Rouge Metropolitan—about 62 miles from Tiger Stadium. New Orleans was the aviation endpoint; Baton Rouge was the stated destination.
