If You’re Still on the Fence—Here’s What You Need to Know

Since opening The Flyover to reader ownership, we’ve experienced exceptional growth—and it’s because of you, our readers, and our early investors.

Just look at what our community has accomplished in just a few months:
📈 Texas is closing in on 500,000 readers
🌴 Florida is up 32% since our crowdfunding began
🌵 Arizona has grown more than 30% this month
🌄 Colorado is up nearly 20% and now has over 100,000 readers
🏈 Ohio has nearly doubled, jumping from 28,000 to over 50,000 readers since October 1
🎧 The Flyover Podcast is approaching 400,000 monthly listeners

Across all Flyover editions, that’s 350,000 new readers added in the last month alone.

All of this growth—every milestone—was made possible by our investors.

If you’ve been watching from the sidelines, now is your moment. Don’t get left behind or let this opportunity pass.


How Do You Get a Return on Your Investment?

We believe in transparency. Like any investment, there’s risk—but The Flyover reached profitability after just two years, with 80% gross margins and 24% net income. That places us among the top 1% of media startups in America.

Here’s how your investment could create a real return:

  1. Sale: A larger media company or strategic partner could acquire The Flyover. If that day comes, we’ll only partner with those who share our values.
  2. Public Listing: We could one day go public, giving you the freedom to buy and sell your shares.
  3. Profit Distributions (Dividends): Because we’re already profitable, future dividends are a real possibility.

These are the same paths that have rewarded early investors in other successful startups—and they’re all possible because of the momentum you’ve helped build.


If you’ve been on the fence, now is the time to invest.

Join the movement that’s reshaping how Americans get their news.

A shortage of air traffic controllers forced the Federal Aviation Administration to issue a ground delay at Nashville International Airport over the weekend, amid a wider government shutdown straining aviation staffing nationwide. 

Arriving flights are delayed by nearly 1.5 hours, with disruptions expected into the afternoon.

This comes as a broader FAA advisory spans nearly all major U.S. flight zones, signaling a nationwide strain on air traffic operations.

Travelers are urged to check with their airlines before heading to BNA.

The Great Smoky Mountains National Park will remain partially open through early 2026 thanks to funding from local governments and groups across East Tennessee.

Sevier County officials announced on Friday that the park’s key areas—including major roads, campgrounds, and visitor centers—will operate through at least Jan. 4, even as the federal government shutdown continues.

Officials say the move extends a local partnership originally set to expire Nov. 2, while aiming to sustain tourism through a combination of local funding and parking tag revenue.

Tennessee fans turned game day into a food drive, collecting donations at the Hard Knox Tailgating event as the federal shutdown left many families without SNAP benefits.

Ray Burton, longtime organizer of Hard Knox Tailgating, partnered with Second Harvest of East Tennessee to collect food donations for some of the nearly 700,000 Tennesseans who lost SNAP benefits.

It’s a good cause,” said Burton. “Times are tight; everybody needs help, and we’d like to do our part.

Additionally, a new initiative will donate surplus food from University of Tennessee football games into meals for families in need.

Unknown Number Calling? It’s Not Random

The BBC caught scam call center workers on hidden cameras as they laughed at the people they were tricking. One worker bragged about making $250K from victims. The disturbing truth? Scammers don’t pick phone numbers at random. They buy your data from brokers.

Once your data is out there, it’s not just calls. It’s phishing, impersonation, and identity theft. That’s why we recommend Incogni: They delete your info from the web, monitor and follow up automatically, and continue to erase data as new risks appear.
