Allegiant flights are Wednesdays and Saturdays, arriving in Lincoln around noon, and leaving at 1PM.  The only aircraft used is the G4-standard MD-80.  Non-Allegiant traffic is almost exclusively CRJ-200's, with Mesaba very occasionally flying in a Saab 340B or Avro RJ-85.  United also flies in a SkyWest CRJ-700 every so often (usually, it's on the 2nd morning Denver run).

During college football season, we'll occasionally get mainline aircraft in here for team charters.  If its for the Huskers, it'll be United or Northwest (usually a 757-200 for the team, I think), and if its an away team coming into town, it could really be anything.  We've seem everything from a Sun Country DC-10 (when the Huskers played Iowa), to a Pan Am (Boston-Maine Airways) 727 (when the Huskers played Maine).  Also, depending on the bowl game the Huskers are in, we'll also get charter operations for the fans as well.  It'll depend on the game, but for bowl games, its usually a 747-400 or maybe even 2 (2001 Rose Bowl).

LNK also gets a fair bit of Biz-jet activity, as Duncan Aviation is based here.  Typical fare is comprised mainly of Dassault Falcons, but occasionally, we'll get an oddity in here, like a BAe One-Eleven, and I once saw a Lauda Air 737 here, but with a U.S. registration, and missing its titles.  There are also still a number of people who house their GA aircraft here, but with the shutdown of the airport's only flight school, Silverhawk Aviation, piston traffic has been slow.
