Larry Ellison's Bombardier Global Express XRS, tail N15GX, was tracked departing Sundog Airport in Montana at 23:50 UTC on June 23, 2026, and arriving at Battle Creek Executive Airport in Michigan at 02:00 UTC on June 24, after a flight of just over two hours at 45,100 feet.

If Larry Ellison was aboard, he would arrive in Michigan the same week news broke that he and WeatherTech founder David MacNeil split a $67 million waterfront property in Manalapan, Florida — with Larry Ellison paying $35 million for the southern portion of a lot once slated for a $285 million megamansion, per the Wall Street Journal as covered by [therealdeal.com](https://therealdeal.com/miami/2026/06/16/larry-ellison-david-macneil-split-67-million-florida-site/). The purchase effectively expands Larry Ellison's 22-acre Gemini estate compound, the largest in Manalapan, adding a privacy buffer along the ocean-to-lake corridor.

This flight from Montana to Michigan breaks from Larry Ellison's typical pattern of frequent Palm Beach hops and West Coast runs; recent tracked movements include a series of Hawaii flights in early June and a brief stop in Arizona. Battle Creek Executive Airport, while not a known recurring destination for Larry Ellison, lies in a region with strong general aviation infrastructure — though no specific business or personal event in the area was immediately confirmed at time of tracking.
