    Is(was) anyone here a member of WHEELS UP... or does anyone have any experience good or bad with them .. They are a member flight program they mainly have a fleet of King Air 350s and Citations .. these mainly work well for my uses .. I have another thread in silver and it was recommended that I post here ..
    I am trying to figure out if they are a well run, reliable and safe organization based on any experience ...?

    I have no direct experience as I prefer to be the one having all the fun up front, but they appear to have a pretty good reputation. What flights are you looking to accomplish? What city to city and how many people? How often?

    Best friend had a Citation with NetJets. Got out of that and into a Piaggio (with Avantair). That was a disaster (his airframe crashed on landing in CHI, and it took YEARS to sort out). He now has a King Air with Wheels Up. He seems happy with it. Management came out of NetJets, I believe. Smaller fleet means fewer upgrades into bigger options, though. Works well for him.

    Larry- Crud, I thought this thread was going to be about wheels up landings.

    Me too. At least it isn't about a dead hog with something else up.
