You can smell the panic in @elonmusk's jet fuel right now.
The explosion of 'Starship' (predicted here) kicked off a dramatic level of activity including a period where the jet was aloft for 45% of 28 hrs on 7 legs often spending less than an hour on the ramp each.

Always a fun thing to watch, a hard left turn to avoid Mexican airspace on departure at 6:09 PM local. Back toward LA.
Some have expressed concern for $tsla / #spacex BoD member Antonio Gracias ("chim chim"). His Gulfstream has been idle since March 16. But that hasn't prevented the combined average of @elonmusk & @graciasantonio from staying above 6.4 flight hours per day.
After a few days of trying to front run some bad press, @elonmusk's Gulfstream left Hawthorne at 9:06 AM PST headed for Brownsville as US COVID-19 cases approach a quarter million.

Fun fact:
On this flight to Brownsville, @elonmusk will have burnt through a very conservative 187,000 gallons of Jet A in 167 flights since mid January.
This, of course, cost more than 1,255 late model "alternative ventilator" apnea machines purchased in bulk.

On the ground 25 minutes Van Nuys, re-positioned to Long Beach.
When it pulled into the Long Beach Gulfstream maintenance facility at 12:41 AM today for the 2nd time in 33 days; @elonmusk's jet had logged more than 175,700 miles (the equivalent of 7 times around the globe) in just the past 78 days.
The wheels on @elonmusk's jet have touched the ground in San Jose only twice in the past month: One was for 18 minutes and the other occurred as the Fremont plant was being ordered to close.

It's no Gulfstream, but for @elonmusk it will do in a pinch.
No Gulfstream. No Problem.
@elonmusk managed to log around 8,000 nautical miles in more than 20 hours of flight time across 9 flights since the G6 was parked on Monday for maintenance.
Musk's 81 day total is now ~184,000 nautical miles, or 8.5 global circumnavigations.

Interesting dichotomy between @elonmusk & @jeffbezos in 2020's pandemic space race:
1 of Bezos' 2 G650ERs now headed back toward Seattle after both parked at this airfield for 2 days.
Meanwhile, Musk's wore his out from running LA-TX up to 5 times a day. @spacex @blueorigin

I'm guessing one of them sleeps quite a bit better at night. https://twitter.com/evdefender/status/1227210967416619009?s=20
. @jeffbezos inbound for Portland actually. Last there on April 5th for about 95 minutes.
For those keeping score, the past 82 days:

Make it 55 flights for @JeffBezos. On the ground less than 30 minutes in Portland on the way to Seattle.
One of @elonmusk's back up mules will start the day by repositioning to LAX in the next 30 minutes. It will then head to Brownsville. This is a photo from the inside of the actual aircraft.

By the way, Signature Flight Support doesn't necessarily have the best facilities at LAX but it is totally passable whether you are flying in your own jet or need to charter one in a pinch.
Cleared for takeoff... on to Brownsville.
. @elonmusk's backup charter can barely break 500 knots.
Sad.
So it's just now on approach to Brownsville. It'll be on the ground there for about an hour and will then head over to Titusville, Florida.

Just landed in Brownsville.
The purist will correctly note that the smaller jets typically don't get hung out over the Gulf of Mexico.
Thus, the actual flight plan will be this to within 6 decimal places on lat/lon:

Wheel's up in Brownsville, on to Space Coast. I've already provided a courtesy update to @elonmusk about the COVID-19 status on the ground: https://twitter.com/evdefender/status/1249055382976303105?s=20
Not to be troubled with viral threats on the ground in Florida, the second backup charter is running a certain someone home to Van Nuys after leaving Brownsville at 6:30 pm local.
After the drop off, the jet will then return to Hawthorne.
