Peter Thiel's Gulfstream V (N878DB) was tracked flying from Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport to Los Angeles International Airport on June 25, 2026, a one-hour hop covering routine miles between Silicon Valley and his home base.

If Peter Thiel was aboard, the timing places him in Los Angeles as fallout from the leak of his invitation-only Dialog network continues to reverberate. The breach exposed personal data of prominent members and drew calls from Irish politicians to cancel an upcoming retreat at Powerscourt Estate, per reports from AOL and the Anglo Celt [aol.com](https://www.aol.com/news/inside-peter-thiel-secretive-invite-154438570.html) [anglocelt.ie](https://www.anglocelt.ie/2026/06/21/who-is-peter-thiel-billionaire-organiser-of-controversial-wicklow-event/). The flight arrives in the same week that Powerscourt Estate stated it would cancel the event if legally possible [san.com](https://san.com/cc/peter-thiels-dialog-network-was-super-secret-a-data-leak-changed-that/).

The June 25 movement adds to a recent string of shuttle flights between Los Angeles and San Jose, suggesting the aircraft—parked in Leadville, Colorado until late 2024—has returned to active use for routine West Coast travel.
