Donald Trump returns to Palm Beach after a brief Montana stop

Donald Trump flew from Drummond Airport in Montana to Palm Beach International Airport on June 3, a 1-hour-45-minute hop that brought his personal Boeing 757-200, N757AF, back to its home base. The flight arrived at 9:35 p.m. local time, capping a day that began with the aircraft departing from the same Montana airfield.

The trip comes the same week Trump held a rally in Billings, Montana, on June 2, per local news reports. Drummond is roughly 200 miles west of Billings and is a common departure point for the former president's aircraft when traveling to and from the state. The event was part of a series of political appearances ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

The flight fits a pattern of Trump using his private jet to return to Palm Beach after campaign stops. Recent flights show him shuttling between Washington-area airports and KPBI, with the most recent prior trip from Dulles on May 10. The Montana detour is a rare western excursion for the aircraft, which typically operates along the East Coast.
