The sleek-looking Gulfstream G700 — which can travel at nearly the speed of sound — idled just across the tarmac at Van Nuys Airport on Sunday, according to a video posted to X by journalist John Schreiber.
It is not clear if Bezos was aboard his shiny new toy, but the mogul was photographed over the holiday weekend in Los Angeles with fiancée Lauren Sánchez.

The couple went on a double date with Kris Jenner and her long-time partner Corey Gamble to Italian restaurant Giorgio Baldi, according to People .
The G700 is considered the premier long-range business jet, able to hit Mach 0.925, around 710 miles per hour.
It sports a length of nearly 110 feet and a wingspan of 103 feet.
The spacious interior of the luxury plane is outfitted with up to five living areas and includes a private stateroom, dining area, a lounge and a crew rest area.
The seats in the cabin are made of premium leathers while the interiors are lined with fine woods and customizable finishes.

There’s also a kitchen and lavatory, high-speed WiFi, a circadian lighting system that mimics sunrise and sunset, temperature control, fresh air circulation and a whisper-quiet cabin environment.
The G700 has a maximum range of 7,500 nautical miles.

Bezos’ plane made 28 flights in 39 days — leaving a carbon footprint of 264 tons, or 17 times what the average American emits in a year, according to JetSpy and other publicly available data.
Reps for Bezos have noted that he uses sustainable aviation fuel for his travels and pays for carbon offsets, which fund projects that reduce greenhouse gas pollution and cancel out carbon emissions generated by the trips on his planes and yachts.
Bezos apparently tried to keep his acquisition of the plane secret by using the Federal Aviation Administration’s program that allows jet owners to hide information about their aircraft.
The FAA Privacy ICAO Aircraft Address (PIA) program allows aircraft owners to use temporary, randomized addresses that changes the aircraft’s identity numbers so as to make flights less traceable by the public.
