We like the EPIC 1000, Freakonomics Blaming Business Aviation for Blocking ATC Privatization
Description
Jessie returns from Vienna (yes, strudel and opera made the highlight reel) as she and Preston dive into Flyhouse’s takeover of ESPN’s College GameDay/Monday Night Countdown sponsorship from Wheels Up, questioning whether splashy sports tie-ins drive real customers or just help close big deals. They cover a major legal win for buy-the-seat operators like JSX at Westchester, unpack Freakonomics’ deep dive on ATC privatization and the industry’s shaky talking points, and spotlight Epic Aircraft hitting 100 deliveries of the E1000—now a serious contender in the single-engine turboprop market. The pair also discuss Vista’s sale of Red Wing to Bel Air (rebranded as Jet Excellence) and its bet on Citation X operations, plus lighter moments in their “Mile High Madness” segment—debunking bad Instagram “King Air math,” laughing at home cockpit sims, and celebrating Preston’s revived office plant.
