Greg Gianforte is the 25th Governor of Montana, inaugurated in January 2021. He made his fortune from the 2011 sale of RightNow Technologies, a cloud CRM company he founded, to Oracle Corporation for $1.8 billion. He won re-election in 2024.
Unlike most governors, Gianforte explicitly declined to use Montana state aircraft and instead uses his personally-owned 2017 Pilatus PC-12/47E (N1247E), registered through Bozeman Technology Incubator Inc. — a Gianforte-linked shell entity. He covers all travel costs personally. In July 2023, he blocked public tracking of the aircraft via the FAA's LADD (Limiting Aircraft Data Displayed) opt-out program, though ADS-B Exchange crowdsources data independently and continues to track it when airborne.
Note · Celebplanes tracks Greg Gianforte's registered aircraft — not Greg Gianforte personally. ADS-B data shows when and where the plane moved; who was aboard any given flight is unknown.
