There is something about an aviation nursery that feels hopeful. A room full of clouds, propellers, and far horizons is really a room about going places, and that is a lovely thing to wish over a crib. It is also one of the most flexible themes you can pick, because it grows with a child

Empty leg flights are a genuinely good deal — in the right circumstances. The private aviation industry knows this, which is why broker marketing tends to lead with the discount and leave the fine print for later. This article is the fine print.

The tail number on Michael Jordan’s private jet isn’t random. N236MJ breaks down exactly as you’d expect from the most decorated player in NBA history: 23 for his jersey number, 6 for his championship rings, MJ for his initials. That registration has been Jordan’s personal stamp across two aircraft spanning nearly two decades, and in

Travis Scott’s private jet was once a Las Vegas casino plane. Before it wore the Cactus Jack Airlines livery and the tail number N713TS, the Embraer Lineage 1000 that carries the Houston rapper across the world belonged to MGM Mirage, ferrying high-rollers between resort properties.
