The Florida Gators baseball team advanced to the College World Series after crushing Florida State in the Super Regionals. Before the team headed to Omaha for the CWS, it traveled there in style.
Florida flew to Nebraska in the Rolling Stones' private jet. That is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime experience for everyone that got to fly to Omaha. Here is a picture of the jet:

GatorZone's Scott Carter explains how Florida was able to fly on the private jet of rock n' roll legends:
"The Stones played at Bobby Dodd Stadium in Atlanta on Tuesday night, and flew to Orlando early Wednesday for their show Friday night at the Citrus Bowl. They don't play again until next Wednesday in Nashville, so with a weekend off in Florida, the plane was bid out for other charter flights.
The NCAA, in conjunction with an independent charter travel company, arranges flights for the eight schools and their traveling parties to get to Omaha. As it turns out, the Stones' plane matched Florida's criteria, was close by and most importantly, available."
