Sleuth Report: Greg Conners Traces an Epstein Ranch Cessna and Files New Aircraft Records Requests
Snapshot
In a November 10, 2026 Substack post, independent researcher Greg Conners reports new state records on a small twin-engine plane registered to an Epstein ranch company, and lays out a long list of public records requests aimed at one question: who traveled to and from Zorro Ranch without being written down.
His working motto for the project is “Find the transit, find the people.”
What is new: the Cessna N908GM
Conners says that on November 9, the New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) aviation division released seven unredacted state registration entries for N908GM, a 1974 Cessna 421B twin-engine plane.
- Registered owner: Zorro Development Corp., Stanley, New Mexico.
- State registration: 2001 to 2007, listed as active in 2001 and 2002 and inactive afterward.
- “Facility” field: Sandia Airpark Estates East. According to Conners, state aircraft registrar Mark Harris explained that owners fill in this field themselves, so it may simply show where the plane was hangared.
- Gap before 2001: Harris told Conners the state’s system only holds data back to 2001. Epstein bought the ranch in 1993, so earlier years are unknown.
Conners also writes that Epstein’s chief pilot described a Cessna 421 on the ranch runway, and that N908GM appears in records as logged at the ranch strip. He does not name the source for either claim, so readers should treat them as unverified until the underlying records are produced. He has asked the FAA Aircraft Registry for the plane’s full federal file.
Conners notes the tail number ends in “GM,” like one of Maxwell’s helicopters, and says himself this may be a coincidence.
The helicopter spreadsheets are still missing
Conners returns to a January 2020 email chain between an FAA law enforcement assistance agent and the FBI’s New York office, released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. As he describes it, the chain:
- opens with Ghislaine Maxwell’s FAA private helicopter pilot certificate, issued October 2, 2007;
- lists three helicopters: N491GM (Bell 407, nicknamed “Air Ghislaine 1” in an FBI email; the FAA had not yet identified its serial number or ownership dates), N722JE (Sikorsky S-76C, formerly registered to Air Ghislaine Inc.) and N331JE (Bell 430);
- shows the FAA sending the FBI five spreadsheets of flight plans for those helicopters. The file names span 2000 to 2020, but the FAA said the earliest data in the batch is from 2007.
The email was released. The spreadsheets were not. Conners filed a FOIA request with the FAA on October 19 and was told to expect a decision by April 30, 2027, citing backlog and government shutdowns.

Why passenger records matter
Zorro Ranch, near Stanley in Santa Fe County, has its own airstrip. Conners cites a New Mexico Truth Commission finding that 80 of 227 trips in the records it reviewed listed no passengers. His argument is that aircraft movement records from airports, counties and the state may help fill in what flight logs left blank.
Pending records requests
| Agency | What Conners asked for | Status he reports |
|---|---|---|
| NMDOT aviation | New search for the helicopter tail numbers, Bell 206 N474AW, and the names Air Ghislaine, Hyperion Air LLC and Freedom Air International | Sent to the state’s software developers |
| City of Santa Fe (airport) | Landing, parking, hangar and fuel records for N908GM, Epstein’s jets and N474AW on dates in 1997 and 2001, and Zorro accounts through 2007 | Logged as S006923-111026; update promised within 15 days |
| City of Albuquerque Aviation | Sunport and Double Eagle II records for 12 aircraft on dates in 2001 and 2010 to 2014 | Logged as 26-21530 |
| Santa Fe County Clerk | Recorded documents from 1993 to 2023 naming the ranch companies, Epstein or chief pilot Larry Visoski, including a 2003 cotenancy agreement | Forwarded to Records and Recording Division |
| Santa Fe County Sheriff / 911 | Call logs for Zorro Ranch Road addresses, 2005–2019 | No fee; response promised by Nov. 25 |
| NMDOT | NM 41 roadway safety study, roadside memorial correspondence, and 2026 memorial damage records | Pending |
| FAA Aircraft Registry | Full federal file for N908GM | Pending; slow response expected |
Who could speed this up
- New Mexico Truth Commission: Conners says its subpoena power runs through December 31 and that he asked it to obtain the FAA spreadsheets, requesting a written answer by November 30.
- New Mexico Attorney General’s office: Conners says Special Counsel Sean Sullivan received his FAA request and updates.
- House Oversight Democrats: Conners plans a formal request for the spreadsheets and Cessna records, naming Reps. Robert Garcia, Ro Khanna and Melanie Stansbury.
He encourages readers to send their own records requests to congressional committees before the new Congress convenes in January.
The wider files fight
Conners opens the piece with the midterm results and then turns to the Epstein files. He reports that DOJ identified about 6 million potentially responsive pages under the Transparency Act and released about 3.5 million, and he cites Rep. Ro Khanna and other Democrats saying victim interview statements, a 2007 draft indictment and prosecution memo, and large volumes of computer files were still withheld. Those figures are Conners’s account; see our news coverage for official statements.
Remaining questions
- What is the source for the claim that N908GM was logged at the ranch airstrip?
- Where was N908GM based and flown before New Mexico’s records begin in 2001?
- Will the FAA or FBI release the five helicopter flight plan spreadsheets before 2027, and will the Truth Commission use its subpoena power before it expires?
- What will Santa Fe and Albuquerque airport records show for the requested dates?
We will update this report as Conners publishes responses.
