Cisco Systems flies to Montana as executives converge on ranch retreat

Cisco Systems flew one of its two Bombardier Global 6000s, tail N600NB, from 16 Ranch Airport in Texas to Gregory M. Simmons Memorial Airport near Lewistown, Montana, late Thursday night — a 2-hour, 6-minute hop that touched down just before 2 a.m. local time on June 5, 2026. The aircraft, registered to Cisco Aero LLC via N9781 LLC, made the trip at altitude above 45,000 feet.

The same week, Cisco Systems' senior leadership appears to have gathered at a private ranch in central Montana for a periodic offsite. The company has long held executive retreats at remote locations [flightradar24.com](https://www.flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/n600nb), and the pattern of recent flights — repeated shuttles between the same Texas airstrip (36MT) and the same Montana destination (46.86,-108.84) since late May — suggests a multi-day meeting, not a one-off visit.

Cisco Systems, which completed its $28 billion acquisition of Splunk in 2024 and employs more than 79,500 people, keeps its official headquarters at 170 West Tasman Drive in San Jose, California. But with a fleet of two Global 6000s and an executive team that travels constantly, the Montana ranch appears to serve as a working retreat — the kind of place where the CEO and board can strategize away from the noise of Silicon Valley.
