Launch day for the SpaceX IPO.
Had the rare opportunity to tour Cape Canaveral during IM-1 as a guest of Kam Ghaffarian—one of SpaceX’s largest private customers.
Watched a Falcon 9 send Intuitive Machines on its journey to the Moon. Seeing that level of execution up close gives you a different perspective on what’s being built here.
This isn’t just another IPO—it’s the commercialization of space at scale.

@jbransonx I’d like it on commercial too. People pay up for exit rows. I’d pay up for pilots so I don’t have to use an exit row.
Experiences crews > legroom every time.
I could work from home as a charter broker, but I keep a small office on the tarmac at ISP. Hearing turbines spool up, smelling Jet A, and watching a G600 outside my window—it’s a daily reminder of what humans are capable of. Hard to beat that
@JonsGotJets Do you guarantee 775 hours of charter? You can protect the payback rate by declining wholesale charter requests. Doing so you will never hit 775 of charter. I like Jet linx but you’re in the management business. If it was 200 owner/250 charter I’m sure Jetlinx would be great fit.
@happytrader69@alan_stalcup Also to come close to 775 hours, expect to slash the rates to compete with floating Supermid fleets in market. And crew costs are not fixed. They always line item them as fixed but that’s for 200-250 hours. 3x for 775
@MediaKing I’d rather drive my jeep wrangler and own a Pilatus PC12 NG than a 3rd home or exotic car. The turbine suburban. Great payload for travel, low operational cost, take friends golfing without ship sticks anxiety. It’s a Time Machine with short runway capabilities. Just my opinion.
Need more than 1 G550 and multiple crews for everyday flying. Also most 550 configurations have 2 aft divans facing, so like Preston said do you want to sit sideways, shoulder to shoulder looking at person? 8 pax for max comfort but that cuts your revenue in half. Can tour a 550 here https://t.co/OuHit4PFsL
@elonmusk had an aircraft owner who refused Starlink because of your politics.
Their jet goes down for maintenance, I send a charter plane with Starlink… they’re running full Zoom meetings at 40,000 ft like it’s the office.
Next call: “We extended maintenance… installing Starlink.” 😂✈️
Turns out WiFi > politics

@DerrickEvans4WV That is not a 20mill dollar private jet in the video. It’s a single engine Cirrus Vision jet that trades between 1.5mill and 3.5million.
