Alex Rodriguez's aircraft lands in Arlington for the A-Rod Invitational youth baseball tournament

Alex Rodriguez's Gulfstream IV SP, tail N313AR, was tracked departing Lost Mountain Airport (WV06) in West Virginia on June 26 at 7:29 p.m. UTC and arriving at Arlington Municipal Airport (KGKY) in Texas just over two and a half hours later. The aircraft reached 45,050 feet and a max ground speed of 484.5 knots on a flight that touched down at 10:00 p.m. local time.

If Rodriguez was aboard, he would have arrived during the inaugural A-Rod Invitational, a youth baseball tournament hosted by KemperSports that runs June 25–28 at Fields at Station 63 in Mansfield, Texas. The tournament, announced in February, features four-game guarantees, instructional clinics, and on-field appearances by Rodriguez focused on hitting, fielding, and baserunning — per the official tournament announcement [KemperSports](https://www.kempersports.com/2026/02/kempersports-and-alex-rodriguez-announce-inaugural-a-rod-invitational-youth-baseball-tournament/).

The flight fits a pattern of Rodriguez's aircraft making trips tied to his baseball and investment commitments. Over the past weeks, N313AR has shuttled between Miami, Las Vegas, New Jersey, and Minneapolis — the latter home to the Minnesota Timberwolves and Lynx, which Rodriguez co-owns. A weekend in Texas for a tournament bearing his name would be a natural stop on his summer schedule.
