Alabama's jet went quiet on June 11 because it's in Orlando for maintenance

N1UA, the Crimson Tide Foundation's Citation Sovereign and the foundation jet widely known as Saban's plane, is in Orlando for scheduled maintenance. On June 11 it flew a single 69-minute leg from Tuscaloosa to Orlando International and stopped transmitting, because Orlando is home to Textron Aviation's Citation Service Center, the manufacturer's own maintenance and overhaul shop for the type. The jet did the same thing a year ago, parking at Orlando from June 9 to July 28, 2025. We also checked whether it had simply switched to a privacy code instead of landing for good. It had not. No privacy-coded aircraft left Tuscaloosa or Orlando during the blackout. If last summer holds, expect it flying over Tuscaloosa again by July.
