Silvestre Dangond's Hawker 800XP flies 45 nm from Bimini to Miami

Silvestre Dangond's Hawker 800XP, tail number N812SD, flew from South Bimini Airport (MYBS) in the Bahamas to Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport (KOPF) in the United States on Monday, November 2, 2026. The aircraft departed at 17:47 UTC and landed at 17:57 UTC, spending 10 minutes in the air. The great-circle distance between the two airports is 45 nautical miles, or 51 miles.

The flight covered 45 nm at a top ground speed of 290 knots and reached a highest altitude of 4,525 feet. Based on Celebplanes' estimate, the Hawker 800XP burned about 41 US gallons of fuel, producing roughly 390 kg of CO2, about the same as driving a car 964 miles. This twin-engine business jet typically seats up to eight passengers, has a range around 2,500 nautical miles, and a service ceiling of 41,000 feet.

This is the seventh tracked landing at Miami for this aircraft in the tracked window, and the most recent before this flight was on October 30, 2026, three days earlier. The aircraft's most common destination in the tracked window is Miami, with six previous landings there. In the 30 days before this flight, the aircraft visited five airports in three countries, flew about 1,416 nm, and logged 11.4 hours in the air. Among other aircraft tracked at Miami in the 24 hours before this landing was Travis Scott's Embraer E-190, which landed about 21 hours earlier.

His aircraft's arrival at Miami-Opa Locka comes as he continues a schedule that frequently moves between the United States and Colombia. The aircraft had previously been in Colombia for that festival period, as tracked by Celebplanes on August 7, 2026.

The brief flight from Bimini to Miami follows a pattern of short hops between Caribbean islands and South Florida that the aircraft has made in recent months. The aircraft's last tracked leg before this one was a flight from Miami to South Bimini earlier on the same day, November 2, 2026. That round trip suggests a quick visit to the Bahamas before returning to the Miami area.

The aircraft's longest tracked leg in the 30 days before this flight was Miami to Kingston on October 23, 2026, covering 535 nautical miles. That flight took 1 hour 22 minutes. The aircraft also flew from Boscobel to Miami on October 25, covering 479 nm in 1 hour 19 minutes.

South Bimini Airport has a longest runway of 5,409 feet at an elevation of 10 feet. Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport has a longest runway of 8,002 feet at an elevation of 8 feet. The aircraft had 12 tracked flights in the window from August 1 to November 2, 2026.

The aircraft is now on the ground at Miami-Opa Locka, a general aviation airport that serves as a common base for private aircraft in the region.
