Caterpillar flies a Bombardier Global 6000 (registration N797CT). Live tracking, full flight history, and CO₂ emissions for each aircraft are available on this page.
Caterpillar owns 1 tracked aircraft: N797CT (Bombardier Global 6000). This is the count Celebplanes can evidence from public registration and ADS-B records; aircraft held through undisclosed entities or chartered rather than owned would not appear here.

Caterpillar's Bombardier Global 6000 (N797CT) burns roughly 400 gallons of Jet-A per hour, which converts to about 3,843 kg of CO₂ per flight hour — equivalent to roughly 9,511 miles of average passenger-car driving.
Caterpillar's home base is Peoria Intl (KPIA / PIA), with frequent destinations including KIAD, KORD, KIAH, EGLL.
Across 50 tracked flights (101 flight hours) on Celebplanes, Caterpillar's aircraft have emitted approximately 389.5t of CO₂. These figures are calculated from public ADS-B flight times multiplied by manufacturer-published fuel burn × the EPA standard 9.57 kg CO₂/gallon for Jet-A.
Yes. Every transponder-equipped aircraft broadcasts unencrypted ADS-B position data continuously, by FAA mandate. Celebplanes aggregates this public broadcast from ADSB Exchange, ADSB.fi, FlightRadar24 and airplanes.live — the same sources used by news outlets and academic researchers.
