Menard Inc.'s Private Jets N538M — Live Jet Tracker & History

Menard Inc. operates Menards, the privately held Midwest home-improvement chain with ~350 stores across 15 states, founded in 1960 by John Menard Jr. — one of Wisconsin's wealthiest people. The company is headquartered in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, and its corporate flight department is based at Chippewa Valley Regional (KEAU).

The FAA lists five jets under Menard Inc. / Menards Inc.: two Embraer ERJ-135 regional jets (N538M, an ERJ-135ER built 2001; N540M, an ERJ-135LR built 2006) used as high-capacity shuttles, two Cessna Citation X+ (model 750, built 2014–15) long-range jets (N586M, N587M), and a Cessna Citation Encore (model 560, built 2001; N563M). All are registered in Eau Claire with valid status. A member of the Menard family, Lawrence Menard, also flies a personally-registered Cirrus SF50 Vision Jet (N1808C) out of the same field.

Note · We track Menard Inc.'s planes, not Menard Inc. in person. Flight data shows when and where each plane flew. It does not show who was on board.

How much CO₂ does Menard Inc.'s jet emit per hour?

About 3,266 kg for every hour in the air. Menard Inc.'s Embraer ERJ-135ER (N538M) burns roughly 340 gallons of jet fuel an hour. That is about the same CO₂ as driving an average car 8,085 miles.

About 91.5 metric tons of CO₂ over 50 tracked flights and 32 hours in the air. We start with the flight times from public ADS-B data. We multiply each hour by the maker's fuel burn figure. Then we apply the EPA standard of 9.57 kg of CO₂ per gallon of jet fuel.

Is it legal to track Menard Inc.'s jet?

Yes. The FAA requires planes with transponders to broadcast their position over ADS-B, and the signal is not encrypted. We collect that public data from adsb.lol and ADSB.fi, two open flight-tracking networks. News outlets and university researchers use the same kind of data. Our methodology page explains how it works.

Owner matches come from the FAA registry, adsb.lol (ODbL) and ADSB.fi data, and SEC filings. They may be incomplete or out of date. Methodology · Report an error. For observational use only.
