Manhattan to HPN (White Plains) airport at sunset. Tough to beat.
Taking a Blade >>> taking an Uber.
Great times with @sydor_greg @pj_quant and Colin Dunne!

@captgallagher @preston_holland @sydor_greg Agreed. But I can’t put it in SMS and I don’t want to make another class with just the Latitude and P500 in it.

@pj_quant @preston_holland @sydor_greg The Praetor 500 sticks out like a sore thumb compared to the rest of the types in your midsize category.

Can’t find a single source that agrees on aircraft classes so I made one…taking comments

Maybe alt broadcasts with the glowing puck for beginners? What’s the answer to helping newbies?

I enjoy watching hockey, but this sport will never gain the mainstream popularity it so desperately desires when people watching on TV cant see/tell when the teams score.

If owners decide to start selling and take gains this is going to be a wild 3Q/4Q.
Heavy jet values increased 11% in 2 quarters. Closed deals is down YoY but activity is up 27.9%. Same story in super mids. Source AIN/Amstat

At Aero Friedrichshafen. Spoke with 3 EU based charter operators today. Tax play/tax play/hope to break even so owners can fly but only do 1 out of 5 years play….is there a charter operator that makes money and can explain how they do to me?

@303SnowWolf @preston_holland I’ll cite you when I quote this on my next call

@pj_quant @preston_holland “Surely MY Hawker won’t be like the other 3 Hawkers at the FBO that’ve had the mobile AOG mechanics van parked next to them every day for the last month…”
English
The Hawker market is cheap. There is a reason it’s cheap. Yes I know you liked it when you chartered. Please consult with anyone who knows about operating costs before you buy a Hawker.

@michaelsbanas I think someone told me this before I bought my boat…
English
@realChaseMartin Of course, but now we’re getting into a different section of the operational performance and limitations in the rfp. Can’t be giving away all the sauce.
English
@pj_quant …and make sure you know additional operating limits if you fly 135 for your own flights
English
Before buying a new airplane have the OEM run your top routes AFTER you fully spec it.
…and have your chief pilot provide them with full route plans
…and give loading preferences
…and do summer and winter profiles
….and have one of those runways be high altitude
…and

There’s something to be said for using the same product you sell to also grow your business: private aviation Today, I headed to rural Virginia with @pj_quant to meet a prospect who called our office looking for help with purchasing a PC-24. At the end of the meeting he asked if I had a pen. We left with a signed contract to represent him and made it home in time for dinner. In person is the way.

He Is Risen!
In a world full of turmoil, Jesus’ death and resurrection 3 days later is the answer.
He will come again victorious, just as He was victorious over death and the grave.
Happy Easter everyone!

@MalachiONeill @preston_holland Sure I can put that together, dm me.
English
@preston_holland @pj_quant yes. Is there a formal write up of this (redacted info, of course).
Would be great to read and study.

Private Aviation is the productivity unlock.
Saving 18 to 36 DAYS of man hours.
$13-$18k of productivity (depending on seniority level)
$8k in T&E
$21-26,000 of savings. Plus, happier employees.

This week, team members from operations, customer experience, accounting, finance, and HR went on a base tour to visit multiple Airshare offices and facilities. Over two days, we hit three cities across the U.S. and still made it home for dinner both nights. No hotel rooms. No packing bags. No being “on the road.” It felt like leaving home, going to the office…just in different cities. This is the power of a day‑based model. Maximum flexibility. Real efficiency. And the ability to do meaningful work without disrupting life. When travel works this way, everything changes.

@JonsGotJets @AIN_SkyWriter @sydor_greg Unlike HNW, most large corporations don’t use tax deductions as a motivator…they already have annual depreciation in the bb’s.
English
@AIN_SkyWriter @pj_quant @sydor_greg They must have other assets to depreciate if they aren’t after a new write off every 5 years.
English
OK, I have a question, @sydor_greg: is it more economical for a corp flight dept to hold onto #bizjets long term (15+ years) or buy new every 5-7 years to minimize depreciation and heavy maintenance costs? A friend manages a flight dept at a Fortune 500 that does the former. 1/2

Gulfstream G650's are no longer a depreciating asset - at least for the time being.
Not only have they defied a typical 7% annual depreciation curve, but they've INCREASED roughly 2% ($1M) in value over the past 12 months.
Like we needed another reason to love this airplane...
Mean Base Value March 2025: $44,000,000
Mean Base Value March 2026: $45,000,000

@sydor_greg Gotta update the LinkedIn…integral to Caesar salad strategy

I had lunch with the head of Wharton’s AI club today.
Like most people on here, I’ve been pretty jaded by the Claude Code hype.
Our firm spends millions on research and infrastructure to find pricing edges for our clients. A 3-5% edge on a $10-20 million dollar jet is real money.
It didn’t feel like AI replaces our market research team, but it does crush overhead and surface insights faster.
You still need humans to produce the data and tell the story.
No one’s buying a $20M jet because Claude said so… right?
