Jim Simons's aircraft, a Gulfstream G800 (N773MJ), was tracked flying from Trenton Robbinsville Airport (N87) to Republic Airport (KFRG) early on July 1, 2026, a short 23-minute hop across New Jersey and Long Island.

If Jim Simons was aboard, the timing coincides with the 2026 FourLeaf Air Show and Fireworks at Jones Beach, taking place July 4-6 and featuring the U.S. Navy Blue Angels, the Royal Air Force Red Arrows, and the Canadian Forces Snowbirds, as reported by Long Island Media Group. Republic Airport serves as a base for historic warbird practice flights ahead of the show, per Patch, and is a frequent staging area for visiting aircraft during the event.

Jim Simons's aircraft previously tracked from California to the New York area on June 30, following a multi-day itinerary that included stops in Montana, the Bay Area, Boston, and northern Italy. Republic Airport sits near the late investor's known East Coast haunts, and a landing here during the July 4 holiday weekend — even a brief one — fits a pattern of seasonal movement toward Long Island's summer attractions.
