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...
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,...
The most boring post you’ll ever see from me…..

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....
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...
We are adding two CJs to the fleet!
We are excited to announce the addition of two Cessna Citation CJ jets to our fleet at Silverhawk Aviation. This private jet is perfect for short-haul trips and will seat up to 4+1 passengers comfortably. The CJ will be our most affordable jet option and provide...
