George Lucas flies to Palm Beach the week of his museum’s opening announcement

George Lucas flew from Teterboro Airport in New Jersey to Palm Beach International Airport on May 14, 2026, a 2-hour-13-minute trip aboard his Gulfstream V, N138GL. The flight arrived just before noon, touching down in South Florida after a brief stay in the New York area.

The same week, the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art announced its inaugural exhibition lineup, curated by George Lucas himself, ahead of its official public opening on September 22, 2026, in Los Angeles’s Exposition Park, per a Deadline report [deadline.com](https://deadline.com/2026/04/lucas-museum-inaugural-exhibition-lineup-1236877199/). The museum will feature roughly 1,200 artworks from his 40,000-piece collection, spanning illustration, comics, and cinema. While Palm Beach is not Los Angeles, the area has long been a destination for the filmmaker; his recent flight history shows frequent trips between California and Florida, and the region is home to several of his known recurring destinations.

The trip follows a pattern of cross-country movement for George Lucas in recent days. On May 11, he flew from Oakland to northwest Arkansas, and on May 10 he returned to Oakland from Santa Barbara. The Palm Beach arrival marks his first Florida visit this month, likely tied to personal business or a brief stay before the museum’s fall launch.”
