Own The Flyover
A Message of Thanks — And a Big Update for The Flyover Readers
 
Thanks to you, our readers, The Flyover has officially raised $1 million in less than two weeks through our reader-owned investment campaign.
 
That kind of momentum puts us among the fastest crowdfunding (Regulation CF) campaigns in the country—and it’s only possible because you believe in what we’re building together. Thank you!
 
We launched The Flyover to give Americans a bias-free, fact-first alternative to legacy media. Your overwhelming response tells us this mission matters—and we’re humbled by your trust.
 
While the 10% bonus shares for our first $1 million raised have now ended, we’re excited to announce:
  • 5% Bonus Shares for the next $1 million raised.
  • PLUS another 5% Bonus if you’ve been a Flyover reader for over a month.
That means qualifying readers can still earn up to 10% bonus shares—but only during this next $1 million tranche.  We have made shares as easily available and affordable as possible at $2 per share, with a $750 minimum.
 
If you missed the first $1 million, don’t miss the next. Every share you buy helps us grow The Flyover and bring bias-free news to more readers than ever. Together, we’re proving that honest, fact-first journalism has a future—and that future can be owned by the people who read it.

A Fulton County jury found Alton Oliver not guilty of all charges in the 2022 shooting death of off-duty sheriff’s deputy James Thomas Jr.

The judge initially read the verdict as guilty before correcting himself. Oliver had faced six felony counts, including murder.

Oliver claimed self-defense, testifying that Thomas made unwanted sexual advances while circling him in a car around 4:30 a.m. in Atlanta’s Riverside neighborhood.

Article Icon 1Boil Water Advisory Lifted

The city of Savannah lifted its boil water advisory early Sunday after tests of cloudy drinking water found no presence of coliform bacteria.

Testing was ongoing in Pooler, which receives its drinking water from Savannah but uses a separate distribution system.

The boil water advisory was issued starting Friday night as a precautionary measure, after the level of cloudiness in the Savannah area’s drinking water exceeded state standards.
