Phil Knight's Gulfstream G650 returns to Hillsboro after two-week stay in Georgia's Golden Isles

Phil Knight's Gulfstream G650 (N1KE) was tracked departing Brunswick Golden Isles Airport (KBQK) at 16:43 UTC on June 30, 2026, and arriving at Portland Hillsboro Airport (KHIO) at 21:14 UTC after a 4-hour 30-minute flight, per public ADS-B data aggregated by [celebplanes.com](https://www.celebplanes.com/celebrity/nike). The aircraft reached a maximum altitude of 45,025 feet and a ground speed of 517.7 knots on the cross-country leg.

If aboard, Phil Knight would be returning to his Oregon home base just before the July 4th weekend, following what appears to be a mid-June sojourn to Georgia's coastal resort region. Brunswick serves as the gateway to Sea Island and St. Simons Island — known destinations for the billionaire set — making it plausible that the trip was a summer family getaway, though no specific event at the destination was confirmed in public records.

The same aircraft flew from central Oregon to Brunswick on June 15, according to [celebplanes flight history](https://www.celebplanes.com/celebrity/nike), suggesting a two-week stay. Knight, who built a $7.6 million private hangar at Hillsboro Airport in 2014, frequently uses N1KE for both business and personal travel, with past documented flights to Dublin, Rome, and his Oregon properties.
