Lane Kiffin made a Friday trip to Knoxville on January 9 as LSU pursued transfer quarterback Sam Leavitt. Sports Illustrated and Tiger Rag reported that Kiffin traveled to meet Leavitt and his camp; Kiffin then posted a photo from McGhee Tyson Airport’s “Welcome to Knoxville” sign.

One aircraft left Baton Rouge at 2:00 p.m. CST, landed at McGhee Tyson at 4:20 p.m. EST and departed 97 minutes later. It was back at Baton Rouge by 6:38 p.m. CST. Kiffin posted his airport photo 68 minutes after the arrival, and posted his private-cabin photo 86 minutes after the return.

The aircraft broadcast the temporary address A03D56 and the call sign DCM2391, keeping its true registration private through the FAA’s Privacy ICAO Address program. The timing makes it the probable aircraft for Kiffin’s trip, but the photos show no registration and no public manifest or invoice identifies the passengers, owner or payer.
