Lane Kiffin arrived in Memphis on Nicholas Air jet N810N before his first game back at Ole Miss as LSU's coach. A report and arrival photo from Sudu place Kiffin aboard and say he flew separately from the team. N810N flew from Baton Rouge to Memphis, landing at 5:38 p.m. ET Friday, seven minutes before the team aircraft. Local reporting confirms the team's Memphis arrival, and LSU's game preview sets the Oxford matchup for Saturday.

The FAA registers the Embraer EMB-505 to Oxford-based Nicholas Services LLC. LSU Athletics lists Nicholas Air as a corporate partner, while Nicholas Air's founder has publicly described Kiffin as a friend. Those connections do not establish who booked or paid for this particular flight; no invoice or booking record has surfaced.
