I have something to sell you
And I’m motivated. My goals this year literally depend on it. It’s got to be somewhat refreshing to hear someone speak so openly, right? I mean, how much of general aviation is filled with bullshit designed to avoid talking about the simple truths of running a...
By the Numbers (redux)
I don’t usually like to recycle content or themes, but I recently took a peek at some of our trip trends for 2023 and was reminded that I looked at 2022 trip trends early last year. Which is a much wordier than is necessary way of saying that I thought it’d be...
State of the Union
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...
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...

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...
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...
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...
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....
