Kalispell, Montana — Just hours after the shocking plane collision at Kalispell City Airport, eyewitnesses reported seeing a sleek, dark-painted private jet departing from a nearby airstrip. The aircraft, according to several aviation enthusiasts and online bloggers, bears a striking resemblance to Oprah Winfrey’s Gulfstream G650 — one of the most luxurious private jets in the world.
Flight tracking data allegedly shows the jet taking off around 3:15 p.m., headed directly to Los Angeles under a “blocked” registration, making it impossible for the public to confirm its ownership.
What’s fueling the speculation even more is the fact that the plane was seen at a small, private terminal just a few miles from the crash site — not the main airport where commercial flights operate. Witnesses say they spotted “a small convoy of black SUVs” pulling up to the aircraft minutes before departure.
Bloggers and amateur sleuths on social media are now buzzing with theories: Was this purely a coincidence, or was a high-profile passenger involved in the Montana crash quickly and quietly evacuated to avoid media attention?
Some point to Oprah’s known love of Montana — she has been spotted vacationing in the state before — while others dismiss the idea entirely, insisting that similar Gulfstream jets are common among wealthy travelers.
As of now, neither Oprah Winfrey nor her representatives have commented on the rumors, and local authorities remain tight-lipped about the identities of those injured in the crash. Still, the mystery surrounding this “special passenger” has only intensified, keeping the Montana plane incident firmly in the headlines.
