Matt Damon lands in Crescent City as the Oregon Shakespeare Festival season opens

Matt Damon flew his Bombardier Global 7500 (N444WT) from Rogue Valley International-Medford Airport to Jack McNamara Field Airport in Crescent City, California, on 23 May 2026, a flight of just 27 minutes and 40 nautical miles. The actor and producer had arrived in Medford the day before from Los Angeles via Portland, Oregon.

The short hop to Crescent City lands Damon within driving distance of Ashland, Oregon, where the Oregon Shakespeare Festival opened its summer repertory season in late May. The festival runs through October and draws a national audience for its rotating slate of classical and contemporary plays. Damon has not publicly confirmed a visit, but the proximity to Ashland combined with his interest in stage and screen production makes a personal or professional appearance plausible.

The trip fits Damon's established pattern of using N444WT for regional Pacific Northwest travel. In the week prior, the aircraft flew from Southern California to Portland and then to Medford, a trajectory consistent with a multi-day trip to the Oregon coast and interior valleys. The aircraft's home base remains Teterboro, New Jersey.
