🚨 Top 3.5 Reasons to Help Us Reach 1,000 Investors 🚨

Yesterday we launched a 10-day campaign to reach 1,000 Flyover investors. Today, we’ve got 9 days left—and just 225 investors to go.

If you’ve been waiting for the right moment, this is it. Be a part of something special. Will you help us today?

Here are the Top 3.5 Reasons 🔽

1: Legacy media has failed.
They’ve lost the public’s trust, laid off journalists at record pace, and are going bankrupt. The Flyover is different. We’re your news lifeline—built on trust, heritage, and an unwavering commitment to honest reporting.

2: 10% bonus shares—while they last.
We’re in the middle of raising our second million, and investors who join before it closes receive up to 10% bonus shares. Once that milestone is hit, this bonus goes away.

3: Small investment, big impact.
At just $2 per share and a $750 minimum, investing in The Flyover is affordable. You’re not just backing another faceless company—you’re fueling a movement to change the face of news in America.

3.5: You might bring The Flyover to your state.
Flyover California? The Michigan Flyover? Flyover Pennsylvania? With your investment, expansion becomes possible—and the next edition could be in your state!

A Personal Note

When we started The Flyover, we knew America needed a news source it could trust again. What we didn’t know was how deeply our readers—you—would stand with us. Every time a reader becomes an investor, it’s not just funding. It’s a declaration that honest news matters.

We’re only 225 investors away from 1,000. Help us prove that together, the Flyover community is stronger than the critics, the legacy media, and the doubters.

Storm Recovery Ongoing

Power was restored Tuesday to most Phoenix-area residents following Monday’s monsoon storms, which at their peak left roughly 66,000 people without electricity.

The storms brought strong winds, a dust storm, and heavy rain, causing structural damage and grounding flights at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, downing trees, and raising flash flood concerns in Yuma County.

ABC15 provided all-day coverage, showcasing dramatic photos and videos.

Days earlier, a microburst in Bullhead City brought strong winds and rain that damaged power lines and homes.

Data Center Eyes Path Forward

Developers of the proposed Project Blue data center are pursuing options to move the project forward in the wake of the Tucson City Council’s rejection of an annexation agreement.

Project developer Beale Infrastructure says that the data center can still be built using a strategy that requires less cooling water than requested in its proposal to the city of Tucson.

The company and Tucson Electric Power filed a proposal with the Arizona Corporation Commission to secure electricity for the first phase of the project.

Training Begins for Mining Jobs

A new 18-month electrician training program launched in Nogales, aiming to prepare area residents for the 800 jobs coming to the Hermosa zinc mine near Patagonia.

Pima Community College partnered with the Santa Cruz County community college district on the certificate program. All 16 students in the first class received full scholarships.

“This is going to allow people who want to stay with their family, be part of the community, to have a good job with a livable wage,” a community college official said.

The initiative is funded by a $440,000 grant from mining company South32, which has pledged to hire 80% of its full-time workforce from Santa Cruz County.
