Danaher's Falcon 900B returns to Montrose after a Redding detour

Danaher Corporation's Falcon 900B (N886DC) flew from Redding Municipal Airport in California to Montrose Regional Airport in Colorado on May 25, a 1-hour-40-minute hop that arrived just before noon local time. The flight followed a May 23 leg from the same Montrose-area coordinates to Redding, and a May 22 trip from Washington Dulles to the Montrose region.

The pattern suggests a multi-day visit to Colorado's San Juan Mountains, likely centered on Telluride—a destination known for corporate retreats and second homes among executives. Montrose Regional is the primary gateway for Telluride, about 65 miles south. Danaher CEO Rainer Blair and other senior leaders may have been attending a private board meeting or strategic offsite, though no specific public event was announced for that week.

Danaher's home base is Washington Dulles, and its fleet—including this Falcon 900B and a Global Express XRS—frequently serves hubs like Chicago, Houston, and London. The recent Colorado trips, however, mark a departure from those routine routes, hinting at either a seasonal retreat or a business gathering in the Rockies.
