Throwing around development numbers that go in the billions, which creates a phenomenon comparable to a gold rush. And every opportunist wants to be part of it. Hundreds of eVTOL concepts. Gold rushes were typicall...
“Hey Jack, how’s it going? I haven’t seen you for a while. Where have you been?” Capt. Jack Callager is an old friend of mine flying a Gulfstream 550.“I just returned from the French Riviera.
