Coast to Desert, Without the Drive
The distance between Hailey and Santa Ana is 706 miles as the crow flies - and in the Epic E1000, that translates to roughly ~2 hr 10 min at cruise altitude. By car, the same journey demands hours of highway time through corridors that rarely cooperate. For FlyEpic owners, that tradeoff disappears entirely.Departing from Friedman Memorial Airport, you're airborne within minutes of arriving at the FBO - no security theater, no gate holds, no middle seats. The Epic E1000 climbs to 34,000 feet in under 20 minutes, where Starlink WiFi keeps you connected while the terrain scrolls beneath you. By the time most travelers are settling into their drive, you're already on the ground in Orange County.This route is a natural fit for FlyEpic's ownership model. Whether it's a recurring business commitment, a weekend at one of Orange County's standout destinations, or simply the desire to make the most of limited time, the economics of fractional ownership make Hailey to Santa Ana a route you can fly without overthinking the cost.
