Brad Garlinghouse grounds in Van Nuys after a short local hop

Brad Garlinghouse took a 0.7-nautical-mile flight from Van Nuys Airport to Van Nuys Airport on May 26, 2026, according to flight data — essentially a repositioning or ground test of his Bombardier Global 6000, N100RP. The brief hop, topping out at 1,000 feet, may reflect the maintenance or crew training that often shadows a busy travel schedule.

This local flight comes the same week the CLARITY Act faces a make-or-break window in the Senate Banking Committee, as Garlinghouse told Consensus 2026 per crypto.news. The Ripple CEO warned that delays past late May would cause the bill’s chances to “drop precipitously” before the midterm election cycle. Garlinghouse has been shuttling between San Francisco, Miami, and New York for industry events and lobbying meetings, as shown by recent flights from Miami to New York on May 20 and New York to Miami on May 22.

Garlinghouse has noted that XRP already has legal clarity from a federal judge’s ruling, per CoinGape, but he continues to argue for across-the-board regulation. Until the next Washington trip, N100RP stays close to home.
