Berkshire Hathaway 2025 Flight Tracker
Watch private jets converge on Omaha for Berkshire Hathaway's Annual Meeting
Omaha gets one weekend a year where its private aviation count rivals a major US hub. Berkshire Hathaway's annual meeting pulls 30,000-plus shareholders into town for two days of Buffett-and-Munger Q&A — and a sizable cut of them arrive the same way they invest: heavy, well-positioned, and not flying commercial.
Eppley Airfield (KOMA) and Millard (KMLE) absorbed the bulk of the inbound traffic. Friday afternoon was the heaviest arrival block, with the rush starting Thursday for shareholders attending the See's Candies reception and exhibit hall. Saturday morning saw the deepest taxi line at Signature; Sunday afternoon was the exodus, with departures stacked between 1 p.m. and 6 p.m. local.
The mix skewed heavy. More G-series Gulfstreams and Falcon 7Xs than you'd see at a sports-event tracker — the audience here owns or fractionalizes long-range iron. The most-frequent visiting hubs were Chicago, Dallas, and Los Angeles, with a thicker-than-usual contingent from Connecticut and Florida. Fractional fleet ops (NetJets, Flexjet) ran heavy positioning legs all week, with several tails making two and three round-trips into Omaha across the meeting window.

[email protected]Frequently asked
Where does this data come from?
ADS-B transponder broadcasts captured by community receivers and archived by adsb.lol. We filter to aircraft whose origin or destination is in the Omaha cluster (KOMA or KMLE) during the meeting window.
Why are the totals smaller than the Masters or Derby trackers?
Berkshire pulls a wealthy but less party-volume crowd than a sports event. Many shareholders attend annually for decades — they fly in on Friday, watch the Q&A on Saturday, and leave Sunday. No multi-day spectator footprint inflates the count.
Why is the heavy-aircraft mix so high here?
The audience selects for it. Berkshire's shareholder base skews toward long-term concentrated wealth — the kind of net worth that owns or fractionalizes G650s and Falcons rather than chartering a light jet. Pattern shows up clearly in the aircraft mix.
