Overview
Jeffrey Epstein maintained a fleet of aircraft that included a Boeing 727 (registered N908JE, popularly called the “Lolita Express” by tabloid media), a Gulfstream G550, and other smaller aircraft. His chief pilot, Larry Visoski, flew him for approximately two decades and was the first witness called at Maxwell’s 2021 trial.
The Boeing 727 Fleet
The Boeing 727 was the largest of Epstein’s aircraft. Flight logs from this plane, maintained by Visoski and other pilots, were subpoenaed in civil proceedings and revealed the identities of many individuals who traveled with Epstein.
The plane was configured with private cabin space and accommodated both business and personal travel. Its registration and FAA records provided investigators with a baseline of Epstein’s travel patterns.
The G550 and Other Aircraft
Epstein also maintained a Gulfstream G550, a smaller and more contemporary private jet. The G550 is among the most capable long-range business aircraft, capable of flights to Europe and beyond without refueling stops.
Multiple smaller aircraft rounded out his fleet, used primarily for shorter regional flights — particularly to and from his Palm Beach property and Little Saint James island.
Larry Visoski: Chief Pilot and Witness
Visoski flew Epstein for approximately twenty years and was the first witness called by prosecutors at Ghislaine Maxwell’s 2021 trial. His testimony established the factual foundation of Epstein’s travel patterns, identified passengers by name or by description, and confirmed the geographic scope of Epstein’s movements.
Visoski testified about specific flights, destinations, and passengers, providing a contemporaneous record of who traveled with Epstein and when. His flight logs corroborated witness testimony from victims who said they had traveled to various Epstein properties.
What the Flight Logs Show
Flight logs produced in civil proceedings identified hundreds of individuals who flew on Epstein’s aircraft. Notable names included political figures, financiers, academics, and celebrities — including documented flights by Bill Clinton (described as occurring with Secret Service agents present), Donald Trump, Kevin Spacey, Prince Andrew, and numerous others.
The fact that someone flew on Epstein’s plane is not, by itself, evidence of criminal conduct. Many individuals flew as guests or for business reasons entirely unrelated to his trafficking activities.
Asset Forfeiture
Epstein’s aircraft were among the assets included in his estate and subject to the various proceedings that followed his death. Their value contributed to the overall estate available for settlements.
