James Dolan's Gulfstream touches down in the Adirondacks as a 75-year sports curse falls elsewhere

James Dolan’s Gulfstream G550, tail number N107VS, was tracked departing Republic Airport on Long Island at 19:37 UTC on July 26, 2026, and landing 32 minutes later at the Sagamore Seaplane Base & Marina on Long Lake in New York’s Adirondack Park. The aircraft climbed to 17,075 feet and reached a ground speed of 415 knots on the short northeast hop — a routine transit for a machine that logs frequent trips to mountain and coastal retreats.

If James Dolan was aboard, he would have arrived at his lakeside destination the same day a different sort of drought ended 3,000 miles away. Per a Sky Sports report, Mayo won its first All-Ireland Senior Football title in 75 years, defeating defending champions Kerry at Croke Park and lifting a curse that had hung over the county since 1951. For a sports executive who presides over the New York Knicks — a franchise that has not won an NBA championship since 1973 — the imagery of a long-awaited breakthrough may have resonated, even if the victory belonged to Gaelic football, not basketball.

The flight fits a well-documented pattern of ’s aircraft usage during the summer months. Recent tracking data shows the G550 moving between Long Island, Martha’s Vineyard, Bozeman, Montana, and the Adirondacks within the past week alone, suggesting multiple properties or business interests in those regions. The July 23 round-trip to Bozeman, near the Yellowstone Club, is a known billionaire retreat; the July 25 hops to the Vineyard align with seasonal leisure travel. The 26-minute flight from Republic to Long Lake is the shortest leg in this circuit — more of a shuttle than a journey, consistent with a quick weekend change of scenery.
