Looking at her flight log, my guess is the jet she owns is run by a company that rents it out to other people.

If that’s not the case, I have no idea why anyone would fly from Atlanta to Savannah and then depart again 2 hours later. Must be rented out to others

Is it a Gulfstream? Might be a maintenance run since Gulfstream's HQ is in Savannah.

It is a Gulfstream G650ER.

There's a concept called the "$100-dollar hamburger" in aviation, which is where one takes an otherwise-unnecessary trip for aviation reasons (i.e. maintaining minimum flight time for qualifications, shaking down a plane after maintenance, etc.).

Atlanta -> Savannah -> Atlanta with a 2-hour turnaround could be hundred-dollar hamburger. It might also be two different people using the jet. But... TBH, it might also be that she owns a jet and wants to take a day-trip.

Elvis once famously flew cross-country to Denver for an 8,000 calorie peanut butter sandwich.

> Atlanta to Savannah and then depart again 2 hours later

Savannah is such a hidden and unique gem, and truly one of the most beautiful cities in the country. It's not hard to imagine taking a quick meeting there. Lots of important people flow through the city.

I'm hoping we get high speed rail on the Atlanta-Savannah corridor one day. The drive is a real slog and it's filled with deceptively unfair speed traps from podunk little towns using speeding tickets as their primary source of revenue.

I'll take a guess you got caught speeding.

Not yet, knock on wood. But it's a super stressful drive.
