Danaher's Falcon lands in Montrose as Masimo's CEO steps down post-acquisition

On June 24, Danaher's Falcon 900B (tail N886DC) was tracked departing New York's Stewart Airport, landing at Montrose Regional Airport (KMTJ) roughly four hours later. The corporate jet reached a cruising altitude of 38,075 feet and a maximum ground speed of 461.7 knots.

If aboard, Danaher would land in Montrose the same week Masimo's CEO Katie Szyman announced her departure after Danaher closed its $9.9 billion acquisition of the diagnostics firm on June 10, per a company release [investors.danaher.com](https://investors.danaher.com/2026-06-10-Danaher-Completes-Acquisition-of-Masimo-Corporation). Szyman cited bittersweet emotions in a LinkedIn post, as reported by the Orange County Business Journal [ocbj.com](https://www.ocbj.com/oc-homepage/danaher-finalizes-9-9b-purchase-of-masimo/). Just days prior, Danaher's Masimo subsidiary also obtained FDA clearance for a wearable opioid-induced respiratory depression detection feature [gurufocus.com](https://www.gurufocus.com/news/8925114/danaher-dhr-achieves-fda-clearance-for-wearable-monitoring-technology).

The flight extends a pattern of recent activity. Days earlier, N886DC had flown from Montrose back to Dulles, the company's home base near Washington, D.C. The aircraft also shuttled between New York and the Bahamas in the week prior — suggesting regular movement between corporate hubs. Montrose, near Telluride, is a known destination for executive retreats or personal travel, though whether Danaher personnel were aboard remains speculative.
