This week on The VIP Seat, Jessie and Preston break down the AOPA leadership shakeup (and the remote-work subplot), dig into what Skyryse’s $300M raise and $1.15B valuation could mean for helicopter safety and “flying car” reality, and react to a surprise move in the latest funding bill that blocks FAA single-pilot research. Plus: Super Bowl jet traffic hits absurd levels, FBO event fees go vertical, and Mile High Madness delivers foam-system corrosion pain… and a Shark Tank “G6” moment that made aviation Twitter collectively spit out its coffee.
