Matt Damon flies to Crescent City the week of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival

Matt Damon flew from Van Nuys Airport (KVNY) to Jack Mc Namara Field Airport (KCEC) in Crescent City, California, on May 21, a flight of just under two hours aboard his Bombardier Global 7500, tail number N444WT.

The arrival comes the same week the Oregon Shakespeare Festival continues its 2026 season in nearby Ashland, about 90 miles north of Crescent City. The festival, a major regional arts draw, runs through October and attracts industry figures for its new works and repertory programming. Damon, who co-founded the production company Artists Equity with Ben Affleck and has a history of supporting theater, has no publicly scheduled appearance at the festival, but the proximity suggests a professional visit tied to development or casting.

The trip follows a pattern of Damon’s recent flights: he arrived in Van Nuys on May 18 after a visit to Portland, Oregon, and flew from the Los Angeles area to Arizona and Utah multiple times in the preceding week, per the Celebrity Private Jet Tracker [celebrityprivatejettracker.com](https://celebrityprivatejettracker.com/). His Global 7500, valued at roughly $80 million, has been parked at Teterboro for weeks at a time, but May has seen a burst of West Coast movement consistent with business in the Pacific Northwest.
