Nathan Myhrvold Private jet tracker

Nathan Myhrvold was Microsoft's first chief technology officer and founded Microsoft Research before leaving in 1999 to co-found Intellectual Ventures, the patent-acquisition firm in Bellevue. He took a doctorate in theoretical and mathematical physics at Princeton at 23 and did postdoctoral work with Stephen Hawking at Cambridge. Outside the day job he is the author of the five-volume Modernist Cuisine, a named author on dinosaur-growth-rate papers, and a funder of T. rex excavations.

N5000X is a 2000 Gulfstream V, S/N 611, hex A63C5E, registered to Teratorn LLC of Seattle. It wore N568GA before this tail and was originally delivered to Xerox in November 2001; PlaneLogger's history also lists Intellectual Ventures Management LLC against the airframe, which is the strongest public link to Myhrvold himself, since the current registrant is a bare LLC.

One correction worth carrying: this is the original GV, not the modern G500. The two get conflated because Gulfstream marketed the GV as the G500 for a period, but the airframe here predates the GVII-G500 by nearly two decades and reports as GLF5, not GA5C. Base is Boeing Field.
