UGA's Athletic Business Office planned a March 7 team flight to Nashville for men's basketball's SEC Tournament trip. Retained ADS-B produced a canonical Athens takeoff and Nashville landing for N3DE in the same window, making it the strongest aircraft match to the record.

Georgia lost 72-67 to LSU the following night, ending its season. The request had reserved a return by March 12 but expressly warned it could happen sooner.

FAA records list N3DE to Champion Air LLC, a Part 125 operator. The UGA request does not name the carrier, tail or passengers, so this is a high-confidence movement match—not an invoice or manifest.
