Charter..

Ok fair, I was just curious because I'm an AvGeek and usually those charter flights still show up on sites like those

Don't we normally fly Southwest Charter?

As just mentioned, usually charter flights show up too, and I have it searching from the whole Dallas area. I do also know that our flights to FAU were via Allegiant charter from FTW Alliance.

 

EDIT: Actually, since I just remembered Allegiant and FTW Alliance, I think I found it: https://flightaware.com/live/flight/AAY4405

According to the Presidents twitter he posted a picture with an Allegiant plane in the background, so that is probably it.

Now my question for the aviators out there. If we can charter a plane out of Alliance why can't we just take one out of Denton?

Ah, I hadn't seen his tweet yet so that makes perfect sense.

As for why they can't fly out of Denton, I'd have to research that. My initial guess will be that something about the Denton airport is lacking facilities-wise, whether it be the runway length for a jet airliner or some other reason. Denton Airport's largest plane are still tiny Cessna Citation jets (and the like).

UPDATE: Runway length probably isn't it, as the shortest runway that I can find where an A320 still operates from is 5600 ft. Denton's runway is 7000 ft.

Alliance has a 11,000 ft runway, Denton is about 7,000ft.

Denton isn't the greatest airport for service. Alliance can handle pretty much any aircraft and be Johnnyon the spot. Denton is a good little airport, especially for learning. I've flown into both a lot when I was a flight instructor. Alliance wins. At least they aren't having to bus down to Love, DFW, or Addison.

I've been holding this back until I was sure the plane had reached it's destination. I guess I can now make the following announcement:

Denton!...Mean Green forward base here...the Eagles have landed!

      Huss Leaving High Point To Be Creighton's "Coach In Waiting"

      I said this before, regarding football, but the transfer portal is just killing my joy for college sports. I quit CFB a few years ago--it just cost too much and it took too long. CBB isn't long for my fandom even though it's my favorite sport to follow. I could handle the fact that coaches could leave they wanted-it made sense. I don't like NIL but I understand why its there, but its easy to exploit and declare it "legal" to pay. But the portal is the ender. A brand new team every year, basically, if you have any success from the season before...its just impossible to support it with any kind of logical approach as a UNT fan. And this isn't even counting the ways the university actually acts about our teams, as well.

      NBA benches are also filled with...checks notes...10 NBA basketball players. there's a pretty big difference in calling down Dwight Powell and trusting he can contribute after a string of DNPs than asking the same of Brock Vice

      I think it was pretty telling that when Massie was out only Stone got the spare minutes. Stone was a trusted part of the '23-'24 rotation (30 GP, 14 minutes/game) and then completely fell out of the rotation last season (16 GP, 5 minutes/game)...so it didn't appear Hodge had much "senior-loyalty" to get him minutes... maybe, just maybe Mason wasn't actually ready to contribute last season.

      1. I understood your point, that's why I noted that you were making a valid argument in regards to having players ready to play. 2. Definitely cherry picking. Let's go to Google so everyone is working off of the same definition: A basketball team's "rotation" is the group of players who are most likely to be on the court during a game, as opposed to those who are primarily bench players 3. I feel like that is rarely, if ever, seen in college. 4. When you win your NCAA tournament games by an average of over 23 points per game, you probably had a lot of games that bench players got extended minutes.

      Huss Leaving High Point To Be Creighton's "Coach In Waiting"

      Players changing every season is the part that hurts programs that need to build fan bases. Fans “buying into” a program takes excitement over seasons of watching the same players. You follow the Mavs to see Luka. It’s an investment as far as buying tickets and donating and getting friends to come, etc.
