Aircraft N68885, a Gulfstream G650ER registered to Mark Zuckerberg, was tracked departing Moffett Federal Airfield at 4:42 PM UTC on June 24, 2026, and arriving at Van Nuys Airport 54 minutes later, having reached 31,000 feet and a top speed of 499 knots.

If Mark Zuckerberg was aboard, he would touch down in the Los Angeles area the same week Meta continues to court Hollywood for its VR and metaverse content pipelines, as reported by industry trade publications. Van Nuys is a preferred gateway for private aircraft serving the entertainment district, avoiding the congestion of LAX.

The brief flight fits a broader pattern: tracking data shows multiple recent shuttles between Northern and Southern California, including a round-trip to John Wayne Airport on May 31. Such movements suggest regular business coordination beyond his usual Bay Area–Hawaii corridor, which has drawn climate scrutiny for its roughly 70 tons of CO₂ per round trip.
