Norfolk Southern flew from Scrabeck Airport to Fulton County Airport Brown Field on June 3, a 1-hour 33-minute hop that landed at 5:24 UTC. The Bombardier Challenger 605, tail number N157NS, carried the company’s leadership back to its Atlanta headquarters.

The same week, Norfolk Southern holds its 2026 annual meeting of shareholders in Atlanta, per a company filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The event, scheduled for June 4, is expected to cover executive compensation, board elections, and ongoing operational strategy following last year’s proxy fight with Ancora Advisors.

The trip fits a pattern: Norfolk Southern’s Challenger has shuttled between Atlanta and points north and west in recent weeks, including a June 2 flight from the Twin Cities area and a May 19 return from Council Bluffs, Iowa. The aircraft’s home base remains KATL, but Fulton County’s Brown Field is a frequent alternative for quick turnarounds to the MidCity Center offices.
