What do you think COVID did for the private aviation industry? Because I'll be honest, when that whole thing was going on, that was kind of my first introduction to... staring. The charter travel got very crazy. Even though prices were quite crazy at that time, and it felt like every month they were going up, anything just to not deal with the headaches at the airports. Do you think a lot more people got introduced into the private aviation during that time?

There's no question about it. First of all, the ultra high net worth individual, which five years ago was 230,000 of those people, which is somebody worth 30 million or more, now it is 520,000 those people. The most jet card and fractional companies during that COVID period, they had 50 to 75% above any level they've ever had in demand of signing up new jet cards or fractionals.

And 50% of those people never flew on a corporate jet before. So all those people came out of the woodwork, 'cause those people who were those high net worth people or the corporations who really were a little bit tighter with their money, they started seeing, "I need that airplane," whether it's health reasons, flexibility. They're not going to those airports, timing.
