Drone Shows Replace 4th of July Fireworks in Wildfire-Prone Areas

After the amazing coordinated light shows at the Super Bowl and the Winter Olympics, drones are being used as fireworks alternatives. This year, Intel is getting in on the Independence Day spirit by holding a 500-drone display at Travis Airforce base in Northern California. But don’t feel left out. While your 4th of July drone display likely won’t be quite so grandiose, there are a number of companies across the country ( Firefly Drone Shows , Great Lakes Drone Company , and Wildly Creative Marketing , just to name a few) that are starting to offer drone light shows as an alternative to fireworks in blaze-prone areas. An added benefit (or perhaps drawback for traditionalists) is that masses of drones only create a cicada-like buzzing rather than the massive booms that can frighten and confuse pets, often prompting escape attempts.  🎆 Robb Report #AVIATION   ✈

These 7 Private Jet Interiors Are Dripping in Gold, Copper, and Glittering LED’s

Private jets are part flying machine, part personalized flying hotel suite – and highly customized expressions of comfort. After all, when you spend a lot of time cruising at 30,000 feet, you want your environment to be as reassuring as possible. And getting there can be half the fun; choosing the interior design and custom details for your private jet is often a spirited journey into both design and tech. Here we’ve rounded up a few of the bolder aircraft interiors that we have uncovered — aircraft boasting 24-karat-gold chandeliers, LED starscapes on the ceiling, and copper-brushed carved wood, just to name some of the more impressive treatments. While some of these may not be necessary amenities for an overseas journey in the sky, they play to our whimsical impulses and make for a colorful conversation up high. Take a peek at these seven lux features that take a basic jet cabin from convenient to ostentatious. Robb Report #Aviation

FROM PRIVATE JET PURCHASE TO FIRST CHARTER FLIGHT

A growing number of private jet owners are chartering their aircraft when not in use to reduce the cost of ownership. Before a jet can be chartered, it must conform to a specific set of rules set forth by the FAA (known as Part 135) and be listed on an FAA air carrier certificate. The best way to offer your private jet for charter is through an aircraft management company who holds a Part 135 air carrier certificate. ✈ Clay Lacy #Aviation
