Larry Ellison's Gulfstream G650 flies 30 nm from Indiantown to West Palm Beach

Larry Ellison's Gulfstream G650, tail number N817GS, flew from Indiantown Airport (KX58) to President Donald J. Trump International Airport (KDJT) in West Palm Beach on Monday, October 26, 2026. The aircraft departed at 20:58 UTC and landed at 21:17 UTC, spending 19 minutes in the air. The great-circle distance between the two airports is 30 nautical miles, or 35 miles.

The flight averaged a ground speed of 96 kt and reached a top speed of 296 kt, climbing to a highest altitude of 2,950 ft. Our estimate puts fuel burn at about 145 US gallons and CO2 at about 1,394 kg (1.4 metric tons), roughly the same as driving a car 3,452 miles. The Gulfstream G650 is an ultra-long-range jet with a range of 7,000 nm, a top speed of Mach 0.925, and a ceiling of 51,000 ft. It typically seats 12 passengers and up to 19.

This is the ninth landing at West Palm Beach by any of Ellison's three aircraft in the window from August 29 to October 26, 2026. The previous landing at KDJT was 17 days earlier, on October 10, also by N817GS. Ellison's home base is President Donald J. Trump International Airport, and his usual destinations include Witham Field, Van Nuys, San Jose, Honolulu, London Oxford, and Kenora. In the 30 days before this flight, his fleet made 12 flights totaling 16.8 hours in the air. Other tracked aircraft that landed at West Palm Beach in the 24 hours before this landing include Michael Jordan's Gulfstream G650ER, which landed about 22 hours earlier, and Penny Pritzker's Gulfstream G500, which landed about 9 hours earlier.

Larry Ellison is the co-founder, chairman, and CTO of Oracle Corporation, with a net worth of roughly $194 to $196 billion. He is also the controlling shareholder of Paramount Skydance, holding about 50 percent. He filed a declaration of domicile in Manalapan, Florida in May 2023 and owns a $173 million estate there, about 20 minutes from Mar-a-Lago. No public events or meetings tied to Ellison or his companies were reported near West Palm Beach on this date.

The jet landed within six nautical miles of where an AIS fix logged 33 minutes earlier placed the 88-meter Feadship motor yacht Musashi, which Ellison has owned since 2011. The vessel's status was listed as at-rest. The convergence of private jet and private vessel near the same Florida coast is a notable detail, though it does not confirm anyone boarded the yacht.

The Gulfstream G650 holds more than 110 speed records and was launched in 2005. Its estimated fuel burn is 460 US gallons per hour. The departure field, Indiantown Airport, has a longest runway of 6,300 feet at an elevation of 30 feet. The arrival field, President Donald J. Trump International Airport, has a longest runway of 10,001 feet at an elevation of 19 feet.

The most common destinations were Los Angeles International Airport with 9 landings, West Palm Beach with 8 landings, and Van Nuys Airport with 6 landings. The longest leg in that window was from Van Nuys to West Palm Beach on October 9, covering 2,026 nautical miles.

Another tracked aircraft at West Palm Beach in the 24 hours before this landing was a NextEra Energy Embraer Praetor 600, which landed about one hour earlier.

This flight adds one more data point to Ellison's tracked movements, showing the Gulfstream G650 returning to its home base after a short hop from Indiantown.
