An LSU Branded Plane Causes Panic In Morgantown

A private jet emblazoned with the Louisiana State University logo has created a bit of a panic among West Virginia social media and message boards. The Learjet 45 landed at Morgantown Municipal Airport around 11:30 AM on Monday, and it didn’t take long before the hand-wringing and rumors that the Tigers had arrived to poach Mountaineer head coach Dana Holgorsen started to fly.

The twin engine jet with the tail number N599TA is registered to Air Med Services, LLC, a medical transport company out of Lafayette, LA, according to the Federal Aviation Administration registry. Flight records over the last 180 days show no previous trips to Morgantown.
