FBI Director Kash Patel's aircraft lands in Richmond the week of a country music festival

N708JH, the Department of Justice Gulfstream G550 assigned to FBI Director Kash Patel, was tracked flying from Joint Base Andrews to Richmond International Airport on June 29, 2026. The 37-minute flight arrived at 8:06 p.m. local time.

If Kash Patel was aboard, the timing would coincide with a country music festival ongoing in the Richmond area this week. Reports indicate the director's girlfriend, country singer Alexis Wilkins, is scheduled to perform at the event. The FBI has previously stated that Wilkins has been an invited guest of performers on similar trips, per The Daily Beast.

The Richmond arrival follows a pattern of N708JH routing through the director's home base at Manassas Regional Airport and Joint Base Andrews before short hops. Kash Patel has faced ongoing scrutiny over personal use of the FBI jet, including flights to watch Wilkins perform and attend wrestling events, prompting congressional investigations into his travel expenses. The FBI maintains the director reimburses the government at commercial airline rates for personal segments.
