A SmartSky-equipped Citation CJ3+ currently sits at the NBAA-BACE static display at Henderson Executive Airport, where showgoers can learn about SmartSky Network’s air-to-ground inflight connectivity system. Owned by pilot/operator David Natinksy, the 2023 CJ3+ received its SmartSky system at Textron Aviation in Wichita shortly after delivery. Natinsky is meeting with convention attendees interested in his first-hand experience.

“We’ve all flown with other providers, and we all know the majority of the time when you try to send something, it doesn’t go through until you land,” commented Natinsky. “On a trip last week, I had eight passengers who were on the internet the whole time. We landed and everyone was ready to go.
