“Why is 7 afraid of 8? Coz 889…
When BETA CEO Kyle Clark took Stonepoint Capital Chairman and Co-CEO Chuck Davis for a spin recently on one of the BETA CX300 aircraft, Davis was introduced, in the air, to N889CD – BETA’s first conforming aircraft linked to the FAA certification process.
The registration mark N889CD was a grateful nod to Chuck Davis’s early investment in BETA – and the joke about “why is 7 afraid of 8? Because 889..” sounds like a long-running joke between both. Very nice touch.
On landing, Chuck also referenced a well-publicized personal loss which happened some ten years earlier.
All in all, a lovely tribute and yet another indication of BETA’s very human approach to corporate culture.

PS nice translation feature on the BETA website using Google Translate – into French. Aviation is very english-centric, so tip o‘ the beret to BETA on thinking globally.
