The Senate markup of the Protect College Sports Act ran in Washington Jun 16, 2026 to Jun 18, 2026, and Iowa State's own aircraft made the trip. S.4668, the Protect College Sports Act, reached committee markup in June 2026 — the closest Congress had come to federal college-sports legislation.

The Cessna Citation Excel, registered to Iowa State University of Science And Technology, departed Manassas, VA at 15:40 ET on Jun 18, 2026 and landed at Ames, IA at 18:01 ET.

The registration ties the aircraft to the school; the flight record does not say who was aboard, and the event dates are the only link between this trip and the meeting itself.
