Tom Cruise flew from DuBois Regional Airport in Pennsylvania to Tampa International Airport on June 16, covering the 932-nautical-mile leg in 2 hours 17 minutes aboard his HondaJet HA-420 (tail N77VA). The flight, which reached 40,000 feet and a top speed of 431.6 knots, landed just after 3 a.m. local time.

The return trip comes after Cruise spent several days in the DuBois area, a rural region of northwestern Pennsylvania. While no public events or film commitments have been reported there, the pattern is familiar: Cruise frequently shuttles between his primary residence—a two-story penthouse in Clearwater’s SkyView tower, purchased for $9.5 million in 2017—and temporary stops across the U.S. Clearwater, a short drive from Tampa, also serves as the operational hub of the Church of Scientology, of which Cruise has been a member since 1986.

Cruise’s recent flight history shows a steady rhythm of Tampa-area arrivals and departures, including a hop from Clearwater to DuBois on June 11 and a prior leg from Fort Lauderdale to Tampa in late May. With more than 367 tracked flights and 350,000 miles logged, the licensed pilot’s movements remain tightly tied to his Florida base, whether for personal retreat or church-related commitments.
