Ken Griffey Jr.'s Cirrus SF50 Vision Jet N124KG flies Stuart to Lake Hamilton in 16 minutes

Cirrus SF50 Vision Jet N124KG, the aircraft tracked as associated with baseball Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Jr., landed at Lake Hamilton Seaplane Base in Florida on October 31 after a short flight from Stuart. It departed at 18:21 UTC and landed at 18:36 UTC, spending 16 minutes in the air. The route covered a great-circle distance of 79 nautical miles (91 miles), with an average ground speed of 307 knots and a highest altitude of 7,850 feet.

Celebplanes estimates the flight burned about 28 US gallons of fuel and produced roughly 273 kg of CO2, about the same as driving a car 676 miles. Naked Lady Ranch Airport has a longest runway of 4,000 feet and sits at an elevation of 22 feet; Lake Hamilton Seaplane Base is at an elevation of 120 feet.

The aircraft has made 25 tracked flights in the window from July 7 to October 31, 2026, and this was its first tracked landing at Lake Hamilton in that window. Its most common destinations in the period were Stuart (KSUA, 5 landings), Orlando (KISM, 4 landings) and Fort Pierce (KFPR, 2 landings). Before this flight, the jet had been on the ground for about one hour after landing at Okeechobee earlier that day. In the 30 days before the flight, the aircraft used five airports in one country and flew about 1,056 nm across six flights, totaling 4.8 hours in the air.

Other flights on October 31 included Lakeland to Okeechobee (69 nm, 21 minutes), Orlando to Stuart (93 nm, 33 minutes) and a Stuart to Lakeland leg. On October 26 the jet flew from Stuart to Augusta, Georgia (381 nm), and returned to Orlando the next day. No public appearance or event tied to Griffey Jr. was found near Lake Hamilton on the date, and the flight may have been a repositioning or personal trip. The Cirrus SF50 Vision Jet is a single-engine jet with a range of about 1,200 miles, seating for up to seven and a service ceiling of 31,000 feet.
