Dow flies Jim Fitterling to Dallas the week of the SHOT Show

Dow flew N892D, a Bombardier CRJ-900, from Pinelli Airport in Louisiana to Dallas Love Field on June 5, landing after a 2-hour, 32-minute flight at an altitude of 40,025 feet. The aircraft, unusually large for a corporate fleet, is typically used by Dow to shuttle engineering teams between manufacturing sites, per the company’s profile on celebplanes.

The same week the jet arrived in Dallas, the National Shooting Sports Foundation’s SHOT Show opened at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center. The event, one of the largest trade shows in the firearms and outdoor industry, draws Dow’s materials science and chemicals business — the company supplies polymers, solvents, and specialty chemicals used in ammunition, optics, and outdoor gear. Dow’s participation in the show is consistent with its role as a diversified industrial supplier.

This flight continues a pattern of Dow aircraft shuttling between Gulf Coast manufacturing sites and the company’s Midland headquarters. Over the past week, N892D has flown multiple loops between Baton Rouge and Texas Gulf Coast Regional Airport, reflecting the operational tempo of a company that manages a large, geographically distributed industrial base from its Michigan home base.
