178. What did the Mr Beast Challenge Pilot Do for 100 Days in a Jet?

Corporate pilot (and MrBeast 100-day jet winner) Armando Carrion jumps in to unpack the ops behind living on a Hawker 800 for 100 straight days—no devices, no Netflix, just Part 91 brainpower and a lot of extension cords. We get into air-to-air formation over SoCal and the Grand Canyon (yep, with a Bonanza), CRM, and why Armando turned down the “double-or-nothing” 100-day extension. We also talk post-win realities: maintenance bills, management, and why the airplane is probably headed to a new owner. Follow Armando at @flyajc
