CBS 8 sister station, First Coast News in Jacksonville, Florida, says flight patterns show the plane had left from Craig Airport in Jacksonville Thursday morning. 

Additionally, flight records show since August, the plane has flown more than a dozen times. 

It is seen frequently taking off from San Diego's Montgomery-Gibbs Executive Airport, and landing in Oregon, Idaho, Arizona, Wyoming and Florida for a few days before returning to San Diego. 

On Oct. 21, 2023, the plane flew from San Diego and landed in Fort Lauderdale. Since then, it's taken numerous trips back and forth between Fort Lauderdale and Jacksonville.
