According to FlightAware.com, six other flights left DuPage Airport in about a two-hour window late Wednesday afternoon bound for NFL cities. Those cities include Indianapolis, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Kansas City and Denver. A total of 10 other flights left the airport outside that window Wednesday afternoon and only one of them was headed anywhere near an NFL city (Philadelphia). Not all flights are tracked by Flight Aware as private jet owners can request not to be tracked. Jones' aircraft is listed as one that is "not available for tracking per request from the owner/operator."
