Jared Isaacman's Bombardier Global Express XRS N82EM flies from Washington to Orlando in 1 hour 59 minutes

Jared Isaacman's Bombardier Global Express XRS, tail number N82EM, flew from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (KDCA) to Orlando Sanford International Airport (KSFB) on Friday, November 13, 2026. The flight departed at 17:03 UTC and landed at 19:02 UTC, spending 1 hour 59 minutes in the air.

The great-circle distance between the two airports is 639 nautical miles, or 735 miles. The aircraft averaged 323 knots ground speed and reached a top speed of 420 knots. Its highest altitude during the flight was 43,025 feet. The flight burned an estimated 852 US gallons of fuel, producing about 8,180 kilograms of CO2, roughly equal to driving a car 20,248 miles. N82EM is an Ultra Long Range jet with a range of 6,160 nautical miles, a ceiling of 51,000 feet, and seating for up to 16 passengers.

This was the first tracked landing at Orlando in a 33-flight window from October 18 to November 13. The aircraft's home base is Lehigh Valley International Airport in Allentown, Pennsylvania, which is 768 nautical miles from Orlando. Usual destinations on file include Washington Dulles International Airport and the Space Florida Launch and Landing Facility in Titusville. The four most recent flights before this one were an Allentown to Washington leg on November 13, a Washington to Allentown leg on November 9, a Houston to Washington leg on November 9, and a Titusville to Houston leg on November 8.

Jared Isaacman founded Shift4, the Allentown, Pennsylvania payments company, after dropping out of high school. He also started Draken International, which flies former military jets to train fighter pilots. He paid for and commanded two private SpaceX missions, Inspiration4 in 2021 and Polaris Dawn in 2024, where he made the first commercial spacewalk. He was confirmed as NASA administrator in late 2025. A web search found no scheduled public appearance or event tied to him in Orlando on this date.

The flight from Washington to Orlando used 10 percent of the aircraft's range. The Bombardier Global Express XRS entered service in 2006 and is known for improved range and performance over the original Global Express.

The aircraft's top speed is Mach 0.89, or 488 knots. It burns an estimated 430 US gallons of fuel per hour. Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport's longest runway is 7,169 feet, with an elevation of 15 feet. Orlando Sanford International Airport's longest runway is 11,002 feet, with an elevation of 55 feet.

In the 30 days before this flight, the aircraft visited 19 airports in one country and flew about 20,057 nautical miles. The longest leg in that period was from Camp Springs to Van Nuys on October 28, 2026, covering 2,007 nautical miles. The most common destinations in that window were Washington with 10 landings, Allentown with 5 landings, and New Century with 2 landings.
