Jimmy Haslam's Falcon lands in Macon amid a pattern of regional hops

Jimmy Haslam's Dassault Falcon 2000EX, tail number N715CB, was tracked departing Martin Campbell Field in Copperhill, Tennessee, at 11:06 UTC on July 9, touching down at Middle Georgia Regional Airport in Macon just 30 minutes later. The aircraft climbed to 26,000 feet and cruised at 448.8 knots before descending into central Georgia. As with all tracking, the aircraft's movements are recorded, not the passenger list — but if Jimmy Haslam was aboard, he would have arrived in Macon with no major public event scheduled in the city that week.

Macon is not a regular stop on the sports or business circuit for the Pilot Flying J CEO and Cleveland Browns owner. The city is home to Mercer University and a regional medical hub, but no conference, Browns-related activity, or Pilot Flying J corporate event appears on local calendars for early July 2026. The absence of a headline-grabbing reason leaves the trip open to interpretation: a personal visit, a private business meeting, or a layover en route to another destination. The airport's fixed-base operators cater to private aviation and can serve as a discreet gateway to coastal Georgia or Florida.

Recent flight data for N715CB shows a flurry of short trips in the same region over the past week. On July 8, the aircraft flew from near Cleveland, Ohio, to Nashville (likely for a business stop), then later that day from the Knoxville area to a location near the Tennessee-North Carolina border. Other recent flights include a hop from Augusta, Georgia, to Hilton Head, South Carolina, on June 27, and multiple loops around eastern Tennessee and western North Carolina. The pattern suggests maintains a regional base of operations, possibly a residence or a secondary office in the Appalachian foothills.
