FINAL HOURS! The Flyover Investment Round Closes Tomorrow

A few months ago, we set out on a mission: to offer ownership opportunities to our readers—now more than 4 million strong.  You are one of those readers and we are incredibly grateful. Without you, we wouldn’t be the company we are today. 

But here’s the deal: we only have hours left.

If you’ve been watching from the sidelines, now is the moment to step in and be one of the final investors in The Flyover. Together, we can finish strong.

Invest in The Flyover today

With only hours left, we want to answer one final question we hear most often from readers and potential investors:

How do I get a return on my investment?

We believe in being direct.

Like all investments, this carries risk. But here’s what makes The Flyover different: we have already reached profitability after just two years. That puts The Flyover in a very small group of media startups, many of which never reach profitability at all.

There are three primary ways investors may realize a return:

1️⃣ A Sale
A larger media company or strategic partner could acquire The Flyover. If that day comes, we’d only consider partners who respect our values and our readers. 

2️⃣ A Public Listing
While we’re private today, a future public listing would give investors the ability to buy and sell shares on an open market.

3️⃣ Profit Distributions (Dividends)
Because The Flyover is already profitable, unlike most startups, distributions are a real possibility as the business continues to grow.

To recap:
1. Sale. 2. Listing. 3. Distributions.

Now, the most important part.

This investment round closes tomorrow. Not days. Hours.

Once it closes, it’s closed.

If you’ve been considering investing; if you’ve been watching from the sidelines, this is your final opportunity to join us as an owner of The Flyover.

Final hours. Final spots. This is it. 

Weekend Snow Threat Looms

The next blast of Arctic air will push into Georgia this weekend, bringing dangerously cold temperatures and potential snow to north Georgia and other areas of the state. 

The snow could briefly extend to the Savannah area on Saturday afternoon.

A winter storm watch covers northeast and east-central Georgia from this evening through Sunday morning, with forecasters warning of up to 2 inches of snow in areas that include Blairsville, Dahlonega, Gainesville, Greensboro, and Athens.

Wind chills could drop to single digits or below zero across north Georgia.

The National Weather Service reports that temperatures could remain below freezing for more than 60 consecutive hours in some locations, heightening the risk of cold-related illnesses and frozen pipes.

  Home Prices Shut Out First-Time Buyers

High home prices across Georgia leave first-time buyers struggling to afford a house, according to real estate agents and industry observers.

The average age for a first-time homebuyer last year was 40, up from 33 in 2020, according to industry data. 

Savannah realtor Ruben Ramos noted that the recent decline in mortgage rates may help some buyers. Zillow reported that the U.S. average rate on a 30-year mortgage remained around 6% this week.

Investor purchases of homes remain one of the factors behind the high prices, with one prospective buyer in Georgia reporting she lost out on a $175,000 home to an investor who renovated the property and then re-listed it for $295,000.

Athletic Trainer Headed to Olympics

Macon sports medicine specialist Rodger Fleming has been selected to serve on the medical staff for Team USA at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy.

“Words can’t fully express what it meant to me when I got that (selection) email,” said Fleming, whose more than 30-year career includes work as an athletic trainer at the professional and college levels.

Fleming will join the medical team supporting U.S. athletes during the Milan Cortina Games, which begin Feb. 6 and run through Feb. 22.

Team USA announced its final roster of more than 200 athletes earlier this week. The roster includes 18 Olympic champions, seven four-time Olympians, and 98 returning Olympians.
