David Sacks flew from Salinas Municipal Airport to Fresno Yosemite International on May 16, a 53-minute hop in his Cirrus SR22T. The flight, which reached 7,050 feet, is one of several recent trips between the Central Valley and the Bay Area.
The same week, a thorough report from [The Verge](https://www.theverge.com/column/925487/david-sacks-trump-administration-ai-model-review) detailed Sacks’s downfall as Trump’s AI and crypto czar, describing how he was eventually pushed out in March 2026 after clashing with national security officials. The administration subsequently reversed its pro-deregulation stance, opting instead for pre-release government review of AI models.
The Fresno destination is a recurring one for Sacks, who has made multiple flights there from Sacramento and the Bay Area in recent weeks. Whether visiting portfolio companies or recording the All-In podcast, the pattern suggests the former White House advisor is keeping a busy schedule far from Washington.
