![[OC] 3,800+ private jet flights tracked in and out of Augusta, GA during Masters week 2025](https://www.byteseu.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/qm2mccv2qhqg1-1536x1091.png "[OC] 3,800+ private jet flights tracked in and out of Augusta, GA during Masters week 2025")
I used FlightAware data to track every private jet movement in and out of Augusta Regional Airport (KAGS) and Daniel Field (KDNL) during the 2025 Masters Tournament (April 4–15).
Key stats:
- 3,856 flights from 1,211 unique aircraft
- Peak day was Friday April 11 with 772 flights — nearly one landing or takeoff every 2 minutes
- Practice round days (Apr 4–9): 945 flights. Tournament days (Apr 10–13): 2,243 flights
- The Thursday–Friday surge is corporate hospitality arriving; Sunday afternoon is the mass exodus
The visualization is an interactive 3D flight tracker built with deck.gl and MapLibre. You can play back the entire tournament week in fast-forward, scrub the timeline, and see each aircraft's path. It includes a Masters event timeline (practice rounds through final putt) so you can see how flight activity maps to the tournament schedule.

A fairly clear demonstration of the wealth divide.
Most have to make a choice about what streaming apps to subscribe to, to see the stuff they want.
Others just jump into their private jet, and watch whatever it is that they’re after.
The ‘ land of opportunity for all’ is a slogan with no meaning.
I’m upvoting because the data actually looks interesting. Too many bar charts and line charts on this sub.
