George Lucas flies Teterboro to Burbank the week of the Star Wars Celebration fan convention

George Lucas flew from Teterboro Airport in New Jersey to Hollywood Burbank Airport on June 5, 2026, a trip of nearly five hours in his Gulfstream V (N138GL). The aircraft climbed to 47,000 feet with a top ground speed of 503 knots, covering a route that places the creator of Star Wars back in Southern California.

The same week, the annual Star Wars Celebration fan convention is running in Los Angeles, as tracked by celebplanes earlier this month. Lucas, who sold Lucasfilm to Disney in 2012, has appeared at past Celebrations during milestone anniversaries, and the timing of his return to Burbank — a short drive from the convention center — strongly suggests he is attending events tied to the franchise's next phase.

This flight completes a notable loop in late May and early June 2026: after a trip from the Bay Area to Chicago on June 1, then on to Teterboro on June 2, Lucas now returns to his home base at San Francisco International. The Gulfstream V, reported as his primary jet, has been parked in Oakland for weeks between trips, per the tracker at celebrityprivatejettracker.com, and may be due for maintenance at Gulfstream's Appleton facility again later this year.
