West Virginia-Linked Jet Reached Omaha Before the Mountaineers Stayed Alive at the MCWS

The tail is not school-owned, but it has now surfaced in two WVU event-travel searches out of Morgantown.

A West Virginia-linked event-travel jet reached Omaha late Tuesday morning, landing before the Mountaineers beat Troy to stay alive in the Men's College World Series.

The aircraft, N79VB, is registered to DSW LLC, not WVU. The reason it matters is the pattern: it was the lone survivor in a West Virginia airport-first search for Big 12 spring-meeting travel in May, then made Morgantown-to-Omaha legs while WVU was playing at Charles Schwab Field.

That fits West Virginia's known travel model. Public FOIA material shows WVU has historically chartered private aircraft rather than operating a single university-owned jet. ADS-B cannot say who was aboard, but the airport-first record gives us a specific tail to watch when WVU moves from Morgantown to major college-sports events.
