Ronald Perelman flew from Orlando Executive Airport to Garfield County Regional Airport on May 8, 2026, aboard his Gulfstream G650, N838MF. The nearly four-hour journey covered over 1,700 miles at altitudes topping 43,000 feet, touching down in Rifle, Colorado, shortly after 2 p.m. local time. From Florida's executive enclave to the gateway of the Roaring Fork Valley, the trip underscores Perelman's peripatetic lifestyle.

The arrival places Perelman in the Aspen area, a recurring haunt listed among his go-to spots alongside Teterboro and Miami-Opa Locka. Garfield County's airport serves as an alternative to the busier Aspen-Pitkin County field, ideal for private arrivals seeking discretion in the tony resort town. No specific events tie the visit, but the timing aligns with spring's thaw, when the Rockies draw financiers for quiet reflection or informal deals away from coastal clamor.

This marks the first tracked flight for N838MF this year, though Perelman's history shows steady traffic to KASE in Aspen. As chairman of MacAndrews & Forbes and a Revlon stakeholder, he balances boardrooms with escapes to places like East Hampton's Creeks compound. In Colorado, the billionaire art collector and donor might simply be chasing altitude over humidity, a wry nod to enduring appetites.
