Ken Griffey Jr.'s Cirrus SF50 flies from Stuart to Lake Hamilton in 16 minutes

Ken Griffey Jr.'s Cirrus SF50 Vision Jet, N124KG, flew from Naked Lady Ranch Airport (64FA) in Stuart, Florida, to Lake Hamilton Seaplane Base (US-3442) on Saturday, October 31, 2026. The aircraft departed at 18:21 UTC and landed at 18:36 UTC, spending 16 minutes in the air. The flight covered a great-circle distance of 79 nautical miles, or 91 miles. This was a short, direct hop between two Florida airfields.

Naked Lady Ranch Airport has a longest runway of 4,000 feet and sits at an elevation of 22 feet. Lake Hamilton Seaplane Base is at an elevation of 120 feet.

The route spanned 79 nm with an average ground speed of 307 knots, though the top speed seen was 283 knots. The aircraft reached a highest altitude of 7,850 feet. According to celebplanes estimates, the flight burned about 28 US gallons of fuel, producing roughly 273 kg of CO2, about the same as driving a car 676 miles. The Cirrus SF50 Vision Jet is a single-engine jet with a range of about 1,200 miles, seating for up to seven people, and a service ceiling of 31,000 feet.

Celebplanes estimates the Cirrus SF50 Vision Jet burns about 110 US gallons of fuel per hour. The aircraft has made 25 tracked flights in the window from July 7 to October 31, 2026.

This was the first tracked landing at Lake Hamilton in the window from July 7 to October 31, 2026. The aircraft's most common destinations in that period were Stuart (KSUA, 5 landings), Orlando (KISM, 4 landings), and Fort Pierce (KFPR, 2 landings). Before this flight, the jet had been on the ground for about one hour, following a landing at Okeechobee earlier that day. In the 30 days before this flight, the aircraft used five airports in one country and flew about 1,056 nm across six flights, totaling 4.8 hours in the air.

Ken Griffey Jr. is an MLB Hall of Famer. No public appearance or event tied to Griffey Jr. was found near Lake Hamilton on this date. The flight may simply be a repositioning or a personal trip.

The aircraft's recent flights show a pattern of short hops around Florida, including a Stuart to Lakeland leg earlier on October 31 and an Orlando to Stuart leg the same day. On October 26, the jet flew from Stuart to Augusta, Georgia, a 381 nm trip, and then back to Orlando the next day. These movements fit a busy schedule of travel between Florida and other states.

Earlier on October 31, the jet flew from Lakeland to Okeechobee, a 69 nm leg lasting 21 minutes. It also flew from Orlando to Stuart, a 93 nm leg lasting 33 minutes.

If Ken Griffey Jr. was aboard, this short flight would be another entry in a month of frequent travel. The aircraft has logged multiple flights in the last week, with the longest leg being Stuart to Augusta on October 26. The brief hop to Lake Hamilton adds to a growing list of Florida destinations for the jet.
