Target flies a few miles between Minnesota airports on a quiet Friday

Target Corporation’s Gulfstream G280, tail number N585PL, made a short hop from Winner’s Landing Seaplane Base to Sky Meadow Airport on the evening of June 5, 2026 — a flight of less than a minute, covering just a few miles in the air at 4,150 feet and nearly 200 knots.

The same week, Target’s new CEO Michael Fiddelke was in Minneapolis for the company’s first-quarter earnings call on May 20, where he reported net sales growth of 6.7 percent and raised full-year guidance, per Target’s own press release and a CNBC report. The brief local flight likely reflects routine repositioning or maintenance, not a newsworthy destination.

Recent flights by Target’s fleet show a pattern of corporate travel between Minneapolis, Florida, New York, and Texas — locations tied to board meetings, supplier visits, and earnings preparations. This evening’s short leg offers no event to explain, simply the quiet logistics of keeping a three-aircraft fleet ready for the next business beat.
