Lady Gaga's Gulfstream V N474D flies from Palm Springs to Flagstaff in 41 minutes

Lady Gaga's Gulfstream V, tail number N474D, flew from Palm Springs International Airport (KPSP) to Flagstaff Pulliam Airport (KFLG) on Friday, November 6, 2026. The aircraft departed at 19:29 UTC and landed at 20:11 UTC, spending 41 minutes in the air. The great-circle distance between the two airports is 252 nautical miles, or 290 miles. The flight used about 4 percent of the aircraft's 6,675 nautical mile range.

The Gulfstream V is an ultra long range jet that can seat up to 16 passengers and has a service ceiling of 51,000 feet. On this flight, the aircraft reached a highest altitude of 27,000 feet and a top ground speed of 457 knots. Based on celebplanes estimates, the flight burned about 297 US gallons of fuel and produced about 2.9 metric tons of CO2, roughly the same as driving a car 7,064 miles. The aircraft is designed for long range travel and is one of the first ultra long range Gulfstream models, in service since 1997.

Before this flight, celebplanes had tracked 39 flights for N474D between May 15 and November 6, 2026. The aircraft had not landed at Flagstaff in that window. Its most common destinations in that period were Teterboro Airport (KTEB) with 11 landings, Westhampton Beach (KFOK) with 5 landings, and Bedford (KBED) with 2 landings. The aircraft's home base on file is Teterboro Airport, and it frequently flies to Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport, Westchester County Airport, Hollywood Burbank Airport, and Charleston International Airport.

In the 30 days before this flight, N474D visited six airports in two countries and flew about 7,336 nautical miles. The longest leg in that period was from Alicante to Bedford on October 11, covering 3,154 nautical miles. Over those 30 days, the aircraft logged six flights totaling 19.2 hours in the air, with an estimated 79,150 kilograms of CO2 produced.

Flagstaff Pulliam Airport is located in northern Arizona, near the Grand Canyon and several national monuments. No scheduled public appearances or events tied to Lady Gaga were found in the Flagstaff area around the time of this flight.

If Lady Gaga was aboard, the short flight from Palm Springs to Flagstaff would have been a quick hop between two southwestern airports. The aircraft spent about one hour on the ground at Palm Springs before departing for Flagstaff.
