Los Angeles to New York for lunch, and back home the same day.
They called it “The Boomerang.”
In this clip from Own The Jet, Joe Barber takes us back to the early days of the Learjet, when Clay Lacy helped demonstrate just how dramatically the aircraft could change the way people did business.
It was the Mad Men era of aviation, big ideas, bold promotion, and a new understanding of what a business aircraft could make possible.

Most people shopping for private jet charter begin with one question:
What does it cost? Jacquie Dalton believes that should not be the first question.

In the newest episode of Own The Jet, the Founder & CEO of SPARROW Executive Jets explains what really goes into a charter trip, from aircraft positioning and operator capabilities to crew requirements, maintenance, and financial readiness. Jacquie also introduces the FlySAFE System™, her proprietary approach to connecting the financial structure of a charter relationship with flight safety.

The conversation covers empty legs, the role of a knowledgeable broker, the limitations of one-size-fits-all charter programs, and why the lowest quote may not be the smartest option.
As Jacquie puts it, “You can’t beat the system. It’s going to catch up with you eventually.”

The Smart Way to Book a Private Jet is now available.
