San Diego State usually flies in the afternoon before when flying to HNL to play Hawai‘i. Since HNLRareBirds.com began tracking team charters to HNL, in 2015, SDSU has made 4 of 5 road trips on Fridays, except for 2019, when they traveled on Thanksgiving.

Jump to postFormer Asia Pacific Airlines' 727-212F, N86425, was ferried to BGI in January 2023. It's registered to Astral Aviation (Kenya) to join the former fleet mate, N705AA (now 5Y-NIV). My guess its undergoing heavy maintenance.
