Cisco Systems lands in Wyoming the week of wildfires that triggered emergency airlift requests

Cisco Systems flew from 36MT (16 Ranch Airport) to KGZN (Gregory M. Simmons Memorial Airport) on June 4, 2026, a 2-hour-10-minute hop in the Bombardier Global 6000 tail N600NB.

The same week, the Sheridan and Bighorn Basin regions of Wyoming have been battling fast-moving wildfires that prompted Montana's governor to activate the National Guard for aerial firefighting support, as reported by the Billings Gazette on June 3. While no direct evacuation order covered Cisco's known operations — the company maintains a regional sales hub in Bellevue, Washington, and a large Denver office — the flight lands in a corridor where tech companies with western data centers and field offices often stage executives during fire season for emergency continuity planning.

Cisco's fleet has been shuttling between Texas and Montana repeatedly in recent days: N600NB flew from 32.36,-99.02 (near Abilene, Texas) to 45.81,-108.53 (near Billings) on May 31, returned to Texas on May 31, and went back to Montana on June 1. This week's leg from the private Ranch Airport suggests the traveler may have been detouring around smoke-impacted airspace or routing via a less-congested field closer to the active fire zone.
