Jeff Bezos flew from Lafayette Regional Airport (KLFT) to Colorado Springs Municipal Airport (KCOS) on May 25, 2026, a 2-hour 20-minute hop in his Pilatus PC-24, tail N194PJ. The aircraft reached 43,000 feet and a ground speed of 429 knots, per flight tracking data.

This is the third round trip between Lafayette and Colorado Springs in May alone, following similar flights on May 20 and May 8. Lafayette sits near Baton Rouge, where Blue Origin operates a rocket engine test facility; Colorado Springs is home to the U.S. Space Force and Peterson Space Force Base. The pattern suggests recurring business tied to Bezos's space ventures, though no specific event was announced for this week.

Bezos's Pilatus PC-24, acquired in 2021, is the smallest of his four-aircraft fleet and is designed for short-field operations. It has logged over 100 flights in 2024, per JetSpy, with Boeing Field as its most visited airport. This regional trip fits the jet's role as a quick connector between Bezos's far-flung interests.
