We are in our Jetsons era!

Air taxis are coming to South Florida.

Aviation company Archer announced plans to launch electric air taxis connecting Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, and Boca Raton—aiming to outfly the area’s infamous traffic.

The aircraft, called Midnight, is designed to carry four passengers and could reduce a typical 90-minute car commute to just 10-20 minutes.

The concept is simple: book a flight through an app, board at a local airport or helipad, and fly directly to your destination.

Pricing details remain unclear, but early riders can expect fares comparable to an Uber black ride, with prices dropping as more aircraft are added to the fleet.

Though there’s no exact timeline yet, South Florida could soon lead the way in urban air mobility, making the Jetson dream of flying over traffic a reality.

If you know me even just a little bit, you know I follow the music…sing it, dance to it and play it on the radio. I hope the music we play makes your workday, or beach day, go by easy breezy.
