State of the Union 2023
I like to start the year on the same page. Resolutions are stupid. Commitments to incremental progress are not. Clear goals, and clear accountability along the way. So, here’s me holding myself, and our team, accountable both to our performance last year and our goals for the upcoming year. Here’s how we fared in 2023: […]
How much does it cost to own x,y, or z?
Probably the question I get asked most frequently. And, honestly, I get it. It’s not where I like to start, particularly with new users, but I get it. The long and short answer is “it depends”. It depends on what you want to buy. It depends on what needs to be done to it. It […]
The Art of Bureaucracy
I’m like the Matt Stone and Trey Parker of blog posts. I don’t even start writing until 24 hours before publishing to make sure it’s maximally topical and relevant. Or, at least, that’s what I tell myself in an effort to justify my procrastination. Try as I might, there’s really no justifying it, yet it […]
The most boring post you’ll ever see from me…..
I promise, I’ll do everything in my power to never be this boring again. Just because it’s boring, though, doesn’t mean it isn’t important. I – very grudgingly – will admit that tax considerations are often one of the most critical factors in people’s analysis of private aviation solutions. Well, most large purchases in general, […]
I’m evolving.
Well, sort of. I mean, these definitely are and I’m maybe growing up a little too. When we started these back in the day (you know, like five months ago), we originally set out with a vision to pull back the covers on the private aviation space and I originally envisioned that being less……journal-y in […]
Our Happiest Clients
Have you ever seen a movie that could have ended differently? One where they didn’t have to end it that way, but you could tell the studio really wanted to squeeze a sequel or series out of it? That’s me, I’m the studio. I probably could have gotten it all in one but here I […]
By The Numbers
Generally speaking, I’m a curious person. I like to understand the “why” behind things. Like, all things. And I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed, which can make my understanding “why” difficult, so I usually have to find a pretty simple way to explain things. Mostly for myself, you know? And you know what […]
Our Fleet And How We Deploy It
My wife and I recently welcomed our second child to the family; a nine-pound little monster with a 15-inch noggin. Literally off the charts head circumference, which I assume means he’s a genius….and must explain why I’m dictating and he’s the one typing this right now. Our first is three (3), so with a newborn […]

This outstanding private jet is perfect for short-haul trips and will comfortably seat up to 4+1 passengers in a refined cabin environment. The CJ will be our most affordable jet option, providing customers with seamless access […]
