A guy and his partner Chris got tired of paying $30,000 for a charter flight to Tennessee, so they called the company, found out the jet was for sale, and bought it within 48 hours. They flew it to Turks and Caicos for Chris's birthday that Friday.

how we got the jet. Essentially, Chris and I were flying nonstop on, you know, on jets all the time and chartering them. And dude, it is so expensive. I remember we're going to Tennessee and again, it was like a $30,000 flight for like an hour and a half. And I'm like, Chris, like, you really want to spend this money, bro? Like, I'm going JetBlue. I don't care. And he goes, why do we keep spending money on charters? Like, imagine how much the owner of this jet's making. He's like, let's buy this jet. We literally that second, we get on a call with the charter company and they're like, haha, it's not for sale. We're like, no, we're serious. We'll wire cash. Tomorrow. Like, we don't even know how much this thing is worth. I'm a big believer in God. I believe everything happens for a reason. Within 48 hours, we get a call back from them and they're like, you guys will not believe what happened. We didn't say anything to the owner, but the owner literally just asked us that we should put the jet on the market just to test the waters. It was the fastest ever plane acquisition. It was a Monday where we saw it. On Friday, we had purchased the jet and we were flying to Turks and Caicos for Chris's birthday.
