On December 18, 2010, Magellan Jets flew down to the Palm Beach International Speedway for the Rebel Rock Racing event, hosted by the music industry's super producer Jim Jonsin. Hailing from Miami, this Grammy-winning, chart-topping, overall beat master has managed to impress us once again with the recent launch of his very own Rebel Rock race team. Partnered with Rebel Rock and Champion Motorsport, Jonsin was able to bring the excitment of racing to the public. This event showcased incredible automobiles and celebrity drivers. For Jim Jonsin, the main objective of creating the racing event was to inspire youth to reach for their dreams and pursue careers which may seem extraordinary.
The amazing cars, presence of celebrities, and a performance by Pitbull and D.J. Affect definitely sparked interest in the young people present. C.E.O. of Magellan Jets, Joshua Hebert, states, "I am pleased to support Jim Jonsin's promotion of career choices fueled by passion over security. Private Jet Travel is a field full of risk-taking. However, taking what you love and transforming it into a career is how many people succeed, no matter how insurmountable the dream appears to be." The other objective for Jonsin was to fill the void of entertainment in the motorsports industry. Enhancing the fun energy was the Magellan Jets porsche, which was present on the race track for the audience's viewing pleasure. Many of the drivers are still in the process of being groomed and trained through high-performance drivers' education sessions. Due to this, the event was more an exhibition in speed rather than a race. Spectators were able to view something fresh and innovative at the Rebel Rock Racing event. Magellan Jets was thrilled to take part in Jim Jonsin's latest endeavor.

An excursion to the Bahamas on a cruise ship brings images of paradise and relaxation to mind. Unfortunately, these dreams were crushed on November 17, 2010, for Donna DeJesus and her daughter Starr. The two women were in the middle of their four-day cruise aboard Norwegian Cruise Line's Norwegian Sky. They had taken a brief trip to the Atlantis Resort and Casino and were traveling back to the ship via a taxi van. The ship was in sight when the driver of the taxi van took a wrong turn and pumped the brakes, only to discover that they did not work. After veering to avoid a collision, the taxi van slammed into a building. Miraculously, everyone in the vehicle lived. As the passengers surveyed the damage, Donna announced that she could not move her legs.
She was transported to a hospital in Nassau, where she waited a considerable amount of time to be seen. In need of a hip replacement, and suffering a broken leg, she was ultimately told that they would not be able to offer her sufficient treatment. The only way Donna DeJesus would acquire proper medical attention would be if she was transported back to a hospital in the United States. Her son, Dion, was able to come to her rescue, paying the $21,000 for a U.S. Air Ambulance to bring Donna and Starr home. The Air Ambulance left for the Bahamas from Sarasota, Fla., and landed early the next morning at Hanscom Air Force Base in Bedford. From there Donna was transferred to Massachusetts General Hospital. With the swift aid of the Air Ambulance, Donna is expected to fully recover. Magellan Jets offers Air Ambulances for charter if you ever find yourself or someone you know in need of private transportation due to a medical dilemma.

Guns N' Roses first stepped into the public eye back in 1985 when they released hits including “Sweet Child o’ Mine” and “Welcome to the Jungle”. Throughout the years, the now infamous band released six studio albums, three EPs, and one live album while going through numerous line-up changes. After a long hiatus, Guns N Roses has decided to reunite, collectively flying via private jet to Australia earlier today. They were last seen live in concert in Australia nearly three years ago in 2007. Upon arrival, the notorious Axel Rose promised his Australian fans a good show tonight at Reid Park in Townsville. The band will be returning to Sydney tomorrow for the Sydney Telstra 500 championships at the Sydney Olympic Park. To conclude their four-date tour in Australia, the band will also be playing December 7th at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre and at Perth Motorplex on December 11th.
