Matt Damon lands in Utah the week Miami officers sue over 'The Rip'

Matt Damon flew from Page Municipal Airport in Arizona to Canyonlands Regional Airport in Utah on May 14, 2026, a quick 24-minute hop across the desert. The Bombardier Global 7500, tail number N444WT, covered just under 80 miles, suggesting a scenic transfer or a visit to the Moab area.

The same week, Damon and Ben Affleck's production company Artists Equity was sued by two Miami-Dade sheriff's sergeants who claim the Netflix film 'The Rip' defamed them by using real details from a 2016 drug-money seizure. The lawsuit, filed May 12 and reported by [CNN](https://www.cnn.com/2026/05/12/entertainment/matt-damon-ben-affleck-rip-movie-lawsuit-hnk) and [Variety](https://variety.com/2026/film/news/ben-affleck-matt-damon-sued-the-rip-miami-police-officers-1236744387/), seeks damages and a public retraction.

Damon had flown from Los Angeles to Page earlier that day, following a May 13 trip from the Portland area to Los Angeles. The quick turn to Utah may be a getaway—Damon has long favored the Southwest for family vacations—even as legal clouds gather over his latest production.
