Only the aircraft registered to Board of Trustees of Southern Illinois University today are counted, wherever they were flying and whoever was flying them, including any accident before the school owned them; aircraft a school leases from their owners are registered to those owners and are not. A school that flies more hours will show more; nobody publishes those hours, so this is a record, not a score. Compare with the other training organisations in Illinois.

This entry comes from the FAA aircraft register (October 22, 2026).
