TAKING OFF AS WE HEAD INTO FALL—a time that can be very busy at home and at work—all of us at NetJets are rededicating ourselves to the idea of renewal. We look forward to sharing with you some of the amazing features that our editorial team put together. As hectic as this year has been for those of you reading this, we all know how important it is to take a moment and reflect. Perhaps that means you are taking a well-deserved trip to a favorite destination with your family or finding time to begin that hobby you always said you never had time for. Or maybe you are looking for ways to incorporate wellness into your everyday routine, as so many of us are these days. Our editors took an expansive look at all things running in the summer issue, and this fall they investigate how e-bikes are allowing cyclists of different abilities the opportunity to ride together for more meaningful experiences and exercise. They find inspiration by visiting the French apple brandy region of Calvados where two elements—craft spirits and cider—collide to produce a seasonal liquor for the senses. Then they report from the Hudson Valley, where there are freshly unveiled hostelries, restaurants, and attractions popping up in every conceivable corner. Some of my favorites in this issue are the lifestyle features, where you’ll read about Alaska native John Shoffner, who is training to fly Axiom’s Ax-2 mission for an eight-day stay on the International Space Station; and the team connects with William Chase to hear what’s next for the Herefordshire, UK-based entrepreneur. Finally, we bring you all the latest in NetJets news, travel tips, and information about our partners. We hope you enjoy this edition of the magazine and wish you safe travels wherever they may take you. Only NetJets!
