What’s the best seasoning for a ribeye steaks?

I hate this. Read the @avbrief story here: avbrief.com/on-the-wreckor… Everyone, please double and triple-check your work. I do not pretend to know how the set screw backed out, but the result was another incident, nonetheless. #AircraftMaintenance

Well Hell ... That was fun while it lasted. According to the Peachtree City Police Department, it turns out you need a permit, a liquor license, and proper zoning to operate a bar. My speakeasy was not to be. Thanks for coming along on this April First journey with us! Kelly Kyriacou Aiken, can I at least keep the bell? #Busted #AprilFools #BacktoWork

“Using scheduling as a proactive part of an SMS cannot be looked at as an ancillary activity.” James Lara Principal, Gray Stone Advisors We are once again proud to collaborate with our friends at the @NBAA Business Aviation Insider on their latest piece SDC2026: How Bizav Scheduler/Dispatchers Can Contribute to SMS.

@MalachiONeill It is a real issue, and only getting worse. The Gray Stone team is working to correct that, but we need data.

@RScarCo Several long-time, Legacy Part 91 here in the Denver area shut down over the last few years. Many of us really surprised.

“Many of those [Part 91 flight departments] are ceasing to exist because the fractional providers are pitching their services as an alternative to the flight department. To name a few, GE, Aetna, Bristol-Myers Squib and L Brands (Victoria Secret and Bath & Body Works) have shut down their flight departments to move to fractional.” This is a snippet from the @preston_holland newsletter, Private Jet Insider. You may read the full piece here: prestonholland.com/posts/the-flee… There comes a time when owning and operating aircraft makes sense, and flying fractional is not the right fit.

We are FINALLY open! Lisa and I are thrilled to announce that our basement tavern is finally complete. We hosted a kickoff party this past weekend for some neighborhood friends, and it was a rousing success. Everyone jammed to some cool tunes and pulled pints all night. Thanks to those who showed up to support this labor of love. You can help too! After the construction costs, I am tapped out. We’ve set up an Amazon wish list to help decorate the bar. Please visit amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls… and help us spruce things up. #HomeBar #Tavern #IPA #Blantons #GinNJuice

Not cool at all.

Ready or not, here we go! The time for talk is over. My new @NBAA article is up, live, and in color. U.S. Part 145 Repair Stations with European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) approval were required to fully implement their safety management systems (SMS) by Dec. 31, 2025, meaning the deadline has passed. Now the focus is on demonstrated effectiveness. Regulators are no longer looking at plans; they’re evaluating performance. “Be ready to demonstrate clear, organized and current evidence of SMS implementation – not just intent.” Amanda Ferraro NBAA Safety Committee / CEO of Aviation Safety Solutions You can read the entire article here: nbaa.org/news/business-… Special thanks to Amanda and Jet Logistics Inc. President and Director of Operations W. Ashley Smith for helping me tell the story. #AviationSafety #SafetyManagementSystem #BusinessAviation #Part145 #EASA

Carburetors get a bad rap, but the truth is they’re reliable when treated right. Pay attention to idle quality, mixture response, & any signs of fuel leaks or primer issues; they’re often the first clues something’s off. @avbrief avbrief.com/carburetors-10… #AircraftMaintenance

Aviation History Moment #OTD in 2003, then-Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley began destroying Meigs Field, stranding over a dozen aircraft, and erasing a popular airport forever. My friend @MegWritingcfi recently reflected on the closing in her piece for @FlyingMagazine, The Cautionary Tale of the Destruction of Meigs Field: flyingmag.com/the-cautionary… The fight continues as other airports, such as Teterboro Airport (TEB), are currently at risk as well. 📸 David Klobucar, Chicago Tribune #BusinessAviation #SaveOurAirports #BizAv
