If you’re ever stuck in traffic during the school run you might be interested to hear for this family chose a Vision Jet over a minivan to get the seven of them for A to B.
Bryce Angell is a US-based pilot and aviation enthusiast and injury attorney at The Angell Law Firm.
He took to Instagram to share how he and family chose air travel over the roads to get around.
They fly in a Cirrus Vision Jet, which according to Angell is single-pilot approved and “super easy to fly”.
“It even has a built-in emergency parachute system,” he says.
And they don’t travel light – with the entire family, plus bags aboard, they also carry 300 gallons of JET A-1 fuel.
The plane has a range of about 1,000 nautical miles – enough to get them from Atlanta to Denver or from Atlanta to Turks & Caicos – pretty impressive.
The Cirrus Vision Jet cruises at roughly 563 km/h (350 mph) at an altitude of roughly 31,000 ft.
“For all intents and purposes this is our minivan in the sky,” said Angell.
And with flying cars on the horizon for multiple countries this year – it seems this soon could become a reality for more of us.
Especially with automated parking systems facing issues – a lot of people had the same opinion after seeing footage of futuristic robot car park.
In a similar method of using air travel on the daily, this Canadian student saves money by getting to his studies by airplane to avoid rent.
Some in the comment section were irked by Angell’s video.
“Rich people acting like it’s totally normal to have a $2million aircraft instead of a minivan,” one said.
“Thank god we have paper straws to offset their pollution,” said a second.
“Thanks man. I’ve been on the fence about this and the new Kia carnival, but I’m pretty sure you just sold me,” quipped a third.

All Supercar Blondie contributors undergo editorial review and fact-checking to ensure accuracy and authority in automotive journalism. After gaining her BA Hons in French and English at the University of Nottingham, Amelia embarked on a vocational diploma from the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ). This led to numerous opportunities, from interning at Vogue to being on the small team that launched Women’s Health magazine in the UK, which was named the PPA Consumer magazine of the year for three years running. As Health, Beauty and Fitness editor, Amelia personally received a Johnson & Johnson Award and was shortlisted for both PPA and BSME titles. Since then, Amelia has created content for numerous titles and brands, including the Telegraph, 111 Skin, Waitrose, Red magazine, Stylist, and Elle, as well as being Head of Content at Vitality and Editor in Chief at INLondon magazine. “My superpower is translating technical jargon about the mechanical workings of a supercar into a relatable story you’ll want to share with your friends after you’ve read it.” After joining the SB Media family as a senior journalist in September of 2023, Amelia’s role has evolved to see her heading up the SEO output of the editorial team. From researching the most ‘Google-able’ key terms to producing evergreen content - it’s been a time of hard work, growth, and success for the editorial team and the Supercar Blondie website. “I like to think of myself as a ‘method journalist’. In other words: I live and breathe whatever I am writing about. When writing about fitness, I trained as a personal trainer, and as a beauty editor, I completed an ‘expert’ in scent diploma with the Fragrance Foundation. “During my tenure at Supercar Blondie, however, I did something I never thought possible: I passed my driving test at the age of 36. One day I’d love to train as a mechanic to better understand what happens under the hood, too. “My sweet spot is providing readers with a ‘takeaway’ (read: something new they didn’t know before) after reading every one of my stories. While I don’t claim to be an expert in the automotive world, I know the experts and bodies in the field to rely on to provide our readers with an informative and thought-provoking story every time they visit the site.”
