South Carolina's Hall of Fame Trip Now Has Its Return Leg

South Carolina's King Air reached Bradley International on Friday afternoon as Basketball Hall of Fame enshrinement weekend opened at Mohegan Sun. Gamecocks coach Dawn Staley was part of the 1996 U.S. Olympic women's team being inducted and was also listed as a presenter.

The aircraft stayed in the region through Saturday's 7-9 p.m. ceremony in Springfield, then left Bradley at 11:54 p.m. and reached Columbia at 2:08 a.m. The paired flights make enshrinement-weekend travel the strongest explanation for the outing.

The flight record does not identify the travelers. JetSweep attributes the observed DCM2481 callsign and PIA address A0950D to university-registered N454GC through aircraft-identity continuity; the FAA registry does not publicly map that privacy identity to the airframe.
