N777AQ? IHL members use it more than anyone else. To Natchez, MS
(November 7, 2010) QUESTION: WHOSE PLANE IS THIS? We usually ask what it cost to fly Saunders’s airplane
N777AQ—bought and paid for by taxpayers and students—to a particular destination. Perspective should change
based on additional information and it does here, too. We insisted that USM obey the Mississippi Open Records
law and USM provided information an honest institution would have provided with the initial Mississippi Open
Records Act (MORA) request. The additional documentation changed the nature of our usual question. This is true
for many flights of N777AQ. Why? It’s simple. The plane is often used by IHL and is being paid for by USM
students and indirectly by USM faculty. If the IHL wanted the plane, it should pay for it. Not USM students and
faculty. This report and others to follow will provide evidence for this conclusion.
