outstanding.

shares that were transferred pursuant to the non-redemption agreement. If so, please
disclose the price paid by the investors party to the non-redemption agreement. In

The relevant text of the Comment Letter has been reproduced herein in bold with our response below the numbered comments. Disclosure changes made in response to the Staff’s comments have been made in Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Amendment”), which is being filed with the Commission contemporaneously with the submission of this letter. Page number references in the comment responses below refer to the Amendment. Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed January 19, 2024 Cover Page 1. For each of the shares of Class A Common Stock and warrants being registered for resale, disclose the price that the selling securityholders paid for such shares and warrants and units overlying such shares. For each of the shares of Class A Common Stock and warrants being registered for resale, the Company has revised the cover page to disclose the price that the selling securityholders paid for such shares and warrants and units overlying such shares. 1 Division of Corporation Finance May 10, 2024 2. Disclose the exercise price of the warrants compared to the market price of the underlying ordinary shares. If the warrants are out the money, please disclose the likelihood that warrant holders will not exercise their warrants. Provide similar disclosure in the prospectus summary, risk factors, MD&A and use of proceeds section and disclose that cash proceeds associated with the exercises of the warrants are dependent on the stock price. As applicable, describe the impact on your liquidity and update the discussion on the ability of your company to fund your operations on a prospective basis with your current cash on hand. The Company has revised the cover page to disclose the exercise price of the warrants compared to the market price of the underlying shares, and the likelihood that warrant holders will not exercise their warrants as long as the warrants are out of the money. The Company has added similar disclosure in the prospectus summary on page 3, risk factors on page 32, MD&A on page 54 and use of proceeds on page 33, including disclosure that cash proceeds associated with the exercises of the warrants are dependent on the stock price. The Company has also revised MD&A on page 55 to describe the impact on its liquidity and to update the discussion on the ability of the Company to fund its operations on a prospective basis with current cash on hand. 3. We note the significant number of redemptions of your Class A common stock in connection with your business combination and that the shares being registered for resale will constitute a considerable percentage of your public float. We also note that all of the shares being registered for resale were purchased by the selling securityholders for prices considerably below the current market price of the Class A common stock. Highlight the significant negative impact sales of shares on this registration statement could have on the public trading price of the Class A common stock.

Risk Factors Risks Related to Our Securities Substantial future sales of our Class A Common Stock by the Selling Stockholders could cause the market price of our Class A Common Stock..., page 28 2 Division of Corporation Finance May 10, 2024 5. We note your disclosure that the securities registered pursuant to this registration statement represent approximately 91% of your total shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding on a fully diluted basis. Please revise your risk factor to disclose the purchase price of the securities being registered for resale and the percentage that these shares currently represent of the total number of shares outstanding. Also disclose that even though the current trading price is below the SPAC IPO price, the private investors have an incentive to sell because they will still profit on sales because of the lower price that they purchased their shares than the public investors. The Company has revised this risk factor on page 31 to disclose the purchase price of the securities being registered for resale and the percentage that these shares currently represent of the total number of shares outstanding, and also disclose that even though the current trading price is below the SPAC IPO price, the private investors have an incentive to sell because they will still profit on sales because of the lower price that they purchased their shares than the public investors. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, page 51 6. We note that the projected revenues for 2023 were $522 million, as set forth in certain financial projections prepared by the management of LGM and provided to the Board, in connection with the evaluation of the Business Combination. We also note that your actual revenues for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 was approximately $239 million. It appears that you will miss your 2023 revenue projection. Please update your disclosure in Liquidity and Capital Resources, and elsewhere, to provide updated information about the company’s financial position and further risks to the business operations and liquidity in light of these circumstances. The Company has included its audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 and has filed its Form 10-K for that same period. In addition, we note that the Registration Statement includes a considerable disclosure regarding the risks to the Company if it does not increase revenue (see, for example “We might not be able to successfully implement our growth strategies” on page 6 and “In order to achieve our projected growth rate, we will require additional liquidity and capital resources that might not be available on terms that are favorable to us, or at all” on page 7). For those reasons, the Company believes no additional disclosure is necessary at this time. 7. We note your disclosure that you may “attempt to raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities or through debt financing arrangements” and that you “believe that [y]our existing cash on hand, cash generated from operations and available borrowings under [your] term loan will enable [you] to secure refinancing as needed to meet [your] obligations as they become due within the next 12 months.” In light of the significant number of redemptions and the unlikelihood that the company will receive significant proceeds from exercises of the warrants because of the disparity between the exercise price of the warrants and the current trading price of the Class A common stock, expand your discussion of capital resources to address any changes in the company’s liquidity position since the business combination. If the company is likely to have to seek additional capital, discuss the effect of this offering on the company’s ability to raise additional capital. 3 Division of Corporation Finance May 10, 2024 The Company has expanded its discussion, on pages 54 - 55, of capital resources to address changes in its liquidity position since the business combination and to discuss the effect of this offering on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital. 8. Please expand your discussion here to reflect the fact that this offering involves the potential sale of a substantial portion of shares for resale and discuss how such sales could impact the market price of the company’s common stock. Your discussion should highlight the fact that Thomas James Segrave, Jr., a beneficial owner of over 68% of your outstanding shares, will, following the lock-up period, be able to sell all of its shares for so long as the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part is available for use. The Company has expanded its discussion on page 55 to reflect the fact that this offering involves the potential sale of a substantial portion of shares for resale and discuss how such sales could impact the market price of the Company’s common stock. That discussion highlights the fact that Thomas James Segrave, Jr., a beneficial owner of over 70.8% of our outstanding shares, will, following the lock-up period, be able to sell all of his shares for so long as the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part is available for use. General 9. Revise your prospectus to disclose the price that each selling securityholder paid for the securities being registered for resale. Highlight any differences in the current trading price, the prices that the selling securityholders acquired their shares, warrants and units, and the price that the public securityholders acquired their shares and warrants. Disclose that while the selling securityholders may experience a positive rate of return based on the current trading price, the public securityholders may not experience a similar rate of return on the securities they purchased due to differences in the purchase prices and the current trading price. Please also disclose the potential profit the selling securityholders will earn based on the current trading price. Lastly, please include appropriate risk factor disclosure. The Company has revised the prospectus to (a) disclose the price that each selling securityholder paid for the securities being registered for resale, highlighting differences in the current trading price, the prices that the selling securityholders acquired their shares, warrants and units, and the price that the public securityholders acquired their shares and warrants, (b) disclose that while the selling securityholders may experience a positive rate of return based on the current trading price, the public securityholders may not experience a similar rate of return on the securities they purchased due to differences in the purchase prices and the current trading price, (c) disclose the potential profit the selling securityholders will earn based on the current trading price, and (d) include appropriate risk factor disclosure.

In response to the Staff’s comments, we would supplement the Extension Proxy Statement and the Business Combination Proxy Statement with the applicable supplemental disclosures set forth in Exhibit A. * * * Thank you for your assistance in this matter. Please do not hesitate to contact Sean Ewen at Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP at 212-728-8867 with any questions or comments regarding this letter. Sincerely, /s/ Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP cc: Gregg S. Hymowitz - 2 - Exhibit A Supplemental Disclosures Extension Proxy Statement The risk factor on p. 6 entitled “If we are deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, we would be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and our activities would be severely restricted. As a result, in such circumstances, unless we are able to modify our activities so that we would not be deemed an investment company, we may abandon our efforts to complete an initial business combination and instead liquidate the Company” is hereby deleted and replaced with the following: There is significant uncertainty under the Investment Company Act whether certain special purpose acquisition companies with trust account assets held in securities would fall under the definition of “investment company” under Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act, particularly companies like ours that do not complete its initial business combination within 24 months after the effective date of its registration statement for its initial public offering. If we do not complete the Proposed Business Combination promptly following the special meeting, continue our operations as a special purpose acquisition company following this Annual Meeting and are deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, we would be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and our activities would be severely restricted. As a result, in such circumstances, unless we are able to modify our activities so that we would not be deemed an investment company, we may abandon our efforts to complete an initial business combination and instead liquidate the Company. There is significant uncertainty under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), whether certain special purpose acquisition companies with trust account assets held in securities would fall under the definition of “investment company” under Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act, particularly companies like ours that do not complete its initial business combination within 24 months after the effective date of its registration statement for its initial public offering. To date, the Company’s decision to invest such funds in money market funds rather than in cash may have created a greater risk that the Company will be deemed an “investment company” than if the Company reinvested such funds in cash. If we do not complete the Proposed Business Combination promptly following the special meeting, continue our operations as a special purpose acquisition company following this Annual Meeting and are deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, our activities would be severely restricted. In addition, we would be subject to additional regulatory burdens and expenses for which we have not allotted funds. While, on a go-forward basis, in the event that the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved and the Extension is implemented, we will, promptly following such time, instruct Continental to liquidate the U.S. government treasury securities or money market funds held in the Trust Account and thereafter to maintain the funds in the Trust Account in cash in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a bank until the earlier of consummation of a business combination and liquidation of the Company, it is possible that a claim could be made that we have been operating as an unregistered investment company. As a result, in such circumstances, unless we are able to modify our activities so that we would not be deemed an investment company, we may abandon our efforts to complete an initial business combination and instead liquidate the Company. Were we to liquidate, our warrants would expire worthless, and our stockholders would lose the investment opportunity associated with an investment in the combined company, including any potential price appreciation of our securities. Further, even if we do complete the Proposed Business Combination promptly following the special meeting, there remains the risk that one or more claims could be made that we have been operating as an unregistered investment company prior to the consummation of the Proposed Business Combination, and we could incur significant fines, penalties, loss to reputation and other material adverse effects on us. - 3 - The Question on p. 15 entitled “How are the funds in the Trust Account currently being held?” is hereby deleted and replaced with the following: Q. How are the funds in the Trust Account currently being held? The funds in the Trust Account have, since the Company’s initial public offering in May 2021, been held only in U.S. government treasury securities with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in U.S. Treasuries. In order to mitigate the risk of being viewed as operating an unregistered investment company (including pursuant to the subjective test of Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act) and thus subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act, in the event that the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved and the Extension is implemented, we will, promptly following such time, instruct Continental, the trustee managing the Trust Account, to liquidate the U.S. government treasury securities or money market funds held in the Trust Account and thereafter to maintain the funds in the Trust Account in cash in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a bank until the earlier of consummation of a business combination and liquidation of the Company. The Question on p. 16 entitled “Is the Company subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940?” is hereby deleted and replaced with the following: Q. Is the Company subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940? As indicated above, the Company completed its initial public offering in May 2021 and has operated as a blank check company searching for a target business with which to consummate an initial business combination since such time. There is significant uncertainty under the Investment Company Act whether certain special purpose acquisition companies with trust account assets held in securities would fall under the definition of “investment company” under Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act, particularly companies like ours that do not complete its initial business combination within 24 months after the effective date of its registration statement for its initial public offering. The risk of being considered to be primarily engaged in investing in securities may increase as the period of time during which the funds held in the Trust Account are invested in securities becomes longer. To date, the Company’s decision to invest such funds in money market funds rather than in cash may have created a greater risk that the Company will be deemed an “investment company” than if the Company reinvested such funds in cash. While, on a go-forward basis, in the event that the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved and the Extension is implemented, we will, promptly following such time, instruct Continental to liquidate the U.S. government treasury securities or money market funds held in the Trust Account and thereafter to maintain the funds in the Trust Account in cash in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a bank until the earlier of consummation of a business combination and liquidation of the Company, it is possible that a claim could be made that we have been operating as an unregistered investment company. If we do not complete the Proposed Business Combination promptly following the special meeting, continue our operations as a special purpose acquisition company after this Annual Meeting and are deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, the Company would be required to register under Investment Company Act. Registration would subject the Company to substantial regulation and restrictions with respect to, among other things, its capital structure, management, operations, transactions and portfolio composition. The Company would also be subject to significant compliance and disclosure requirements. This would adversely impact its ability to operate in accordance with its business plan. If, as a result of such challenges, the Company were to abandon its efforts to complete the Potential Business Combination, the Company would be required to redeem the public shares, liquidate the Trust Account and dissolve. Such liquidation and dissolution would cause the holders of public shares to lose the investment opportunity associated with an investment in the combined company, including any potential price appreciation of its securities. Upon such dissolution, the warrants would expire worthless. Further, even if we do complete the Proposed Business Combination promptly following the special meeting, there remains the risk that one or more claims could be made that we have been operating as an unregistered investment company prior to the consummation of the Proposed Business Combination, and we could incur significant fines, penalties, loss to reputation and other material adverse effects on us. - 4 - The risk factor on p. 6 entitled “The SEC has issued proposed rules to regulate special purpose acquisition companies. Certain of the procedures that we, a business combination target, or others may determine to undertake in connection with such proposals may increase our costs and the time needed to complete a business combination and may constrain the circumstances under which we could complete a business combination. The need for compliance with SPAC Rule Proposals may cause us to liquidate the funds in the Trust Account or liquidate the Company at an earlier time than we might otherwise choose” is hereby deleted and replaced with the following: The SEC has issued proposed rules to regulate special purpose acquisition companies, which, if implemented, may increase our costs and the time needed to complete a business combination and may constrain the circumstances under which we could complete a business combination. On March 30, 2022, the SEC issued the SPAC Rule Proposals relating, among other items, to disclosures in business combination transactions between SPACs such as us and private operating companies; the condensed financial statement requirements applicable to transactions involving shell companies; the use of projections by SPACs in SEC filings in connection with proposed business combination transactions; the potential liability of certain participants in proposed business combination transactions; and the extent to which SPACs could become subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act, including a proposed rule that would provide SPACs a safe harbor from treatment as an investment company if they satisfy certain conditions that limit a SPAC’s duration, asset composition, business purpose and activities. The SPAC Rule Proposals have not yet been adopted, and may be adopted in the proposed form or in a different form that could impose additional regulatory requirements on SPACs. If implemented, the SPAC Rule Proposals, may increase the costs of negotiating and completing a business combination and the time required to consummate a transaction, and may constrain the circumstances under which we could complete a business combination. Business Combination Proxy Statement The following risk factor is hereby added on p. 87 under “Risks Related to EGA”. There is significant uncertainty under the Investment Company Act whether certain special purpose acquisition companies with trust account assets held in securities would fall under the definition of “investment company” under Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act, particularly companies like ours that do not complete its initial business combination within 24 months after the effective date of its registration statement for its initial public offering. If we do not complete the Business Combination promptly following the Special Meeting, continue our operations as a special purpose acquisition company and are deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, we would be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and our activities would be severely restricted. As a result, in such circumstances, unless we are able to modify our activities so that we would not be deemed an investment company, we may abandon our efforts to complete an initial business combination and instead liquidate the Company. There is significant uncertainty under the Investment Company Act whether certain special purpose acquisition companies with trust account assets held in securities would fall under the definition of “investment company” under Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act, particularly companies like ours that do not complete its initial business combination within 24 months after the effective date of its registration statement for its initial public offering. To date, the Company’s decision to invest such funds in money market funds rather than in cash may have created a greater risk that the Company will be deemed an “investment company” than if the Company reinvested such funds in cash. If we do not complete the Business Combination promptly following the Special Meeting, continue our operations as a special purpose acquisition company and are deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, our activities would be severely restricted. In addition, we would be subject to additional regulatory burdens and expenses for which we have not allotted funds. As a result, in such circumstances, unless we are able to modify our activities so that we would not be deemed an investment company, we may abandon our efforts to complete an initial business combination and instead liquidate the Company. Were we to liquidate, our warrants would expire worthless, and our stockholders would lose the investment opportunity associated with an investment in the combined company, including any potential price appreciation of our securities.

Preliminary Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A
General
1.We note your disclosure on page 24 that your sponsor is affiliated with EnTrust Global
Partners LLC (“EnTrust Global”) and EnTrust Global Management GP LLC, has sole
voting and dispositive power over the Founder Shares owned by your sponsor. You
further disclose that Gregg Hymowitz is the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, Founder
and Managing Partner of EnTrust Global and is a U.S. citizen. Please revise to clarify
whether your sponsor or EnTrust Global Management GP LLC, as the entity with sole
voting and dispositive power over the sponsor's Founder Shares, is controlled by, or has
substantial ties with a non-U.S. person. Please also tell us whether anyone or any entity
associated with or otherwise involved in the transaction, is, is controlled by, or has
substantial ties with a non-U.S. person. In this regard, we note your prior disclosure in
your Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed November 13, 2023 that Gary
Fegel, a non-U.S. person indirectly owns a substantial minority position in the Sponsor.
2.Please clarify your disclosures regarding how shareholders can redeem their shares in

approve the proposed business combination is scheduled for December 18, 2023, and it is
contemplated that this annual meeting to consider the extension proposal will take place
on December 22, 2023. For example, if a shareholder submitted a written request to
redeem its shares in advance of the special meeting to approve the initial business
combination and delivered its shares to the transfer agent in connection with such
redemption request, can such shareholder also submit a redemption request in connection
with the extension proposal? If so, how would the shareholder follow the instructions in
this extension proxy that require the shareholder to deliver its shares to the transfer agent?
3.Please revise to disclose that if the proposed business combination is approved and all
closing conditions are satisfied before December 22, 2023 this annual meeting will be
cancelled.
We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for the accuracy
and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence of
action by the staff.

We note your disclosure here that the termination of your agreement with Wheels Up that accounted for a significant portion of your total revenues for the past two years and for the six months ended June 30, 2023 could have an adverse effect on your business, results of operations and financial condition if you fail to materially replace the revenue derived from Wheels Up moving forward as expected.

Please clarify your disclosure in this risk factor regarding the impact of the termination of this agreement on your business, results of operations and financial condition.

We note your response to prior comment 11, indicating you prefer to refrain from disclosing the number of customers utilizing aircraft each period because this would not fully correlate with total revenues, considering that some of your revenues are derived from non-flight services, although you appear to identify 98% or more of revenues for each of the last three fiscal years as being associated with flights on page F-87. We also note that you revised certain disclosures regarding Key Operating Metrics, including the use of “Aircraft contributing to revenues” although without explaining the computation. Given the significance of revenues associated with flights we continue to believe that you should provide information regarding customers that are actually using your flight services each period as previously requested. If you believe that such clarification would not be material, explain to us your rationale and provide us with such details, of the number of customers using flight services each period, along with your response letter. Also further expand your disclosure on page 245 to explain why the number of aircraft contributing to revenues is different than the average and ending aircraft on certificate. We reissue prior comment 11. Response: The registrant respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the disclosures on pages 245 to disclose the number of customers that used LGM’s flight services for the relevant reporting period, which we have defined as “active members”. The registrant further respectfully advises that it has revised the disclosures on page 245 to clarify that the number of aircraft contributing to revenues is lower than the average and ending aircraft on certificate as a result of the fact that aircraft undergoing maintenance or refurbishment may be unavailable during a given reporting period. The registrant further respectfully advises that, given the fact that any of the “members contributing to revenues” are able to take flights during a given reporting period, we continue to believe that defining “members per aircraft” as “members contributing to revenues” divided by “aircraft contributing to revenues” provides a more accurate customer to aircraft ratio. - 2 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of LGM Results of Operations, page 248 4.

However, you have not provided support for this assessment or reconciled the view with your risk factor disclosure on pages 81 und 82.

We also believe that you should revise the disclosure on page 243, indicating termination of the GRP Agreement with WUP will not be material to your future financial position or results of operations, to clarify the significance of the activity associated with the customer in your historical financial reporting, including a discussion of the “strategic reasons” for terminating the relationship (e.g., how terminating the relationship is expected to provide other means of revenue generation if this is your view), and to discuss the extent to which you have already secured new customers to replace the lost revenues. The utility of disclosure indicating your future financial position and future results of operations will not be materially impacted by transactions with a customer that you no longer have should be qualified with disclosure clarifying the effects relative to your historical financial position and results of operations.

The utility of disclosure indicating your future financial position and future results of

We note you make reference to multiple sets of projections, including projections referenced on page 170 that the EnTrust Global employee received in June 2021 and provided to EGA and projections referenced on page 171 that LGM provided to EGA subsequent to the execution of the non-disclosure agreement. Please describe each set of projections and explain why they were prepared. Also discuss any material changes or updates to these sets of projections and the projections which are summarized in the proxy statement / prospectus and explain the reasons the changes were made. Response: The registrant respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the disclosure on page 182 in response to the Staff’s comment. The Board’s Reasons for Approving the Business Combination, page 176 6. You indicate that according to a study, “the potential total addressable market for private aviation is expected to grow to more than $43 billion in 2025 (compared with an estimated $32 billion in 2021).” Please revise to include the source and date of this study. Response: The registrant respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the disclosures on page 180 to include the sources for the referenced study. 7. We note your disclosure on page 81 that you terminated your agreement with a customer, who for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 accounted for 39% and 23% of total revenue, respectively, and for the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 accounted for 33% and 37% of total revenue, respectively, and that a failure to materially replace the revenue derived from such customer may adversely affect your financial condition and results of operations. Please disclose whether the EGA Board has considered the termination of this agreement, including the impact on LGM’s liquidity and projections, in recommending that the EGA stockholders approve the business combination. Response: The registrant respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and advises the Staff that the EGA Board is aware of its fiduciary duties to the EGA stockholders as well as EGA’s obligations under the Equity Purchase Agreement, which require the EGA Board to recommend the Business Combination to the EGA stockholders, subject to certain limited circumstances under which EGA is entitled to terminate the Equity Purchase - 3 - Agreement (e.g. a “material adverse effect” on LGM). The EGA Board is also aware that on June 30, 2023, LGM served Wheels Up a Notice of Termination of the parties’ Fleet Guaranteed Revenue Program Agreement, dated November 1, 2021 (the “GRP Agreement”), and that, prior to the termination of the GRP Agreement, LGM had already planned to scale down business with Wheels Up, and that LGM’s management believes that its strategic shift towards wholesale and contractual retail customers will result in the termination of the GRP Agreement being immaterial to its future financial position, which is disclosed on page 243 of the Amended Proxy Statement. While EGA and the EGA Board are aware of and have discussed these matters, the EGA Board does not plan to specifically consider the termination of the GRP Agreement when making its recommendation to EGA stockholders to vote in favor of the Business Combination given its obligations under the Equity Purchase Agreement, which require the EGA Board to recommend the Business Combination to the EGA stockholders, subject to limited circumstances under which EGA is entitled to terminate the Equity Purchase Agreement, none of which EGA believes are implicated by the termination of the GRP Agreement. 8. We note your disclosure on page 99 that LGM prepared the LGM Projections prior to conducting a PCAOB audit, which changed the manner of accounting and materially impacted the forecasts used in the LGM Projections, and in addition, since the LGM Projections were prepared in October 2022, certain factors arose with the passage of time that affected LGM’s actual results in 2022 and 2023 to date, including, among other things, (i) delays in aircraft deliveries and (ii) a less favorable macroeconomic environment. We further note you disclose the LGM Projections were prepared approximately 10 months ago, as well as the foregoing factors, and that the LGM Projections do not reflect LGM management’s current view on future performance. Please disclose what consideration, if any, the EGA Board gave to seeking updated projections and/or an updated fairness opinion in light of these developments, and if not, disclose why not. Response: The registrant respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the disclosure on pages 99-100 in response to the Staff’s comment. 9. To the extent that revised projections were made public or were provided to EGA, discuss the board’s consideration (if any) of the updated projections. In this regard, we note the projections for flyExclusive included in the investor presentation filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Form 8-K you filed on June 15, 2023 are different from the LGM projections disclosed in your proxy statement / prospectus. Response: The registrant respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the disclosure on pages 99-100 in response to the Staff’s comment. - 4 - Certain Projected Financial Information of LGM, page 179 10. We note your risk factor disclosure on page 99 stating that the LGM Projections do not reflect LGM management’s current view on future performance. Please also include this disclosure here and provide a cross-reference to the risk factor addressing related risks. Response: The registrant respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the disclosure on page 182 in response to the Staff’s comment. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of LGM Overview of Our Business Key Operating Metrics, page 241 11. We note that in response to prior comment 21 you have provided disclosure to clarify that an account is considered active at the end of a reporting period if the account has a credit balance, although you did not specify the number of customers contributing to revenues each period. Given that your measure of customers per aircraft is defined as the total member count divided by the number of aircraft on your operating certificates at the end of the reporting period, we understand this measure includes members that may or may not have been on any flights during the period, and aircraft that may or may not have been utilized for flights during the period. Please further clarify the number of members that have taken flights for each period and the number of aircraft that have been utilized for flights each period. Response: The registrant respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment. Please see the revised disclosures on pages 245 and 246, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of LGM – Key Operating Metrics, to find updated disclosure as to the number of aircraft that have been utilized for customer flights each period, as well as members that contributed to revenue for each period. The registrant further respectfully advises the Staff that, given LGM’s multiple revenue streams each period from activities other than “taken flights”, the disclosure of the total number of members that have taken flights for each period, for the purposes of measuring customers per aircraft, would be misleading for investors. In particular, as described in more detail in the Amended Proxy Statement under “Management’s Discussion and analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of LGM – Revenue”, LGM recognizes revenue each period through the following channels that are independent of the number of flights taken: • Jet Club – Most of LGM’s jet club members pay a monthly membership fee that LGM recognizes as revenue on a monthly basis. Such membership fee is paid regardless of whether such jet club member takes a flight during a given month or reporting period. • Fractional Ownership Program – LGM earns revenue in connection with the sale of fractional ownership interests in aircraft. Such revenue is earned independent of any flights taken for a particular period. • Guaranteed Revenue Program – Under the GRP program, wholesale customers contract to purchase a specified minimum number of hours per quarter in exchange for guaranteed access to aircraft. Such quarterly minimums are earned independent of flight services provided for such period. These program features that contribute revenue from activities other than taken flights make LGM unique to other private aviation companies and traditional air transportation companies. Due to the different ways LGM recognizes revenue from its members, LGM believes that the measure that more correctly portrays the operating efficiency of the business is members per aircraft, where the number of members contributing to revenues for the reporting period are divided by the number of aircraft contributing to revenues during the reporting period. Results of Operations, page 245 12. We note that in response to prior comment 20 you have expanded the table of key operating metrics to include total flight hours, and have provided disclosure to explain that costs of revenue increased “primarily due to an increase in total flight hours” and to an “increase in average fuel prices,” although without clarifying the extent of the change attributable to these factors or to other costs of aircraft operation and management. Please further expand your disclosures to address the requirements referenced in our prior comment, including the language in Item 303(b) of Regulation S-K that requires descriptions of the underlying reasons for material changes in line items be made in both quantitative and qualitative terms, including components within line items that offset one another. Please similarly revise your discussion and analysis of revenues to quantify the changes attributable to volumes and separately to prices. - 5 - The extent to which each material factor contributed to the overall change in the revenue and cost of revenue line items should be clear. However, if you believe the amounts are not material and prefer to refrain from disclosing this information on that basis, please clarify your disclosure and advise us of the amounts. Response: The registrant respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has expanded the disclosures on page 249, in compliance with Item 303(a) and (b)(2)(ii) of Regulation S-K, to further clarify the underlying reasons for the increase in cost of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. The registrant further advises that similar revisions have been made to the discussion and analysis of revenues on page 248 in response to the Staff’s comment. 13. We note your disclosure on page 81 referring to a significant customer in explaining that you “expected the percentage of total revenue concentrated in such customer to continue to decrease over the next few years” while also stating that a failure to replace the revenue may adversely affect your financial condition and results of operations. However, you also explain that you terminated your relationship with the cust

The A&R PubCo Charter contains forum limitations for certain disputes between us and our stockholders that could limit the ability, page 97 10. We note your disclosure here that your exclusive forum provisions do not apply to claims arising under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal securities laws for which there is exclusive federal or concurrent federal and state jurisdiction, and that the A&R PubCo Charter also provides that, unless you consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America are the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. This disclosure is inconsistent with Section 14 of your A&R PubCo Charter attached as Annex B and your disclosures on pages 148 and 286, which state that unless PubCo consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States will be the exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. Please revise your disclosure to reconcile this inconsistency. The registrant respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised Section 14 of the A&R PubCo Charter on pages B-8 and the disclosures on pages 162, 163 and 311 to make federal district courts of the United States of America the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act, consistent with the disclosure made on pages 104 and 105. Background of the Business Combination, page 154 11. Revise your disclosure throughout this section to discuss in greater detail the substance of meetings and discussions among representatives of the parties, including the material issues that were discussed, how parties’ positions differed, and how issues were resolved. For example, please further discuss how the parties determined the transaction structure of LMG. In addition, expand the discussion of the meetings and negotiations among “representatives” of the parties to name the individuals involved. For example, if the “employee of EnTrust Global” who suggested that EGA consider a potential business combination with LGM is a member of management or an affiliate of the sponsor or EGA, name the individual and discuss the affiliation(s). The registrant respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the disclosures on pages 169 through 176 in response to the Staff’s comment. 5 12. We note you state generally that “[t]he Equity Purchase Agreement was principally negotiated between June 14, 2022 and October 16, 2022, and several drafts were exchanged between Willkie and Wyrick during such time,” and that “[t]opics negotiated included the closing conditions, the representations and warranties of EGA and LGM respectively, certain interim operating covenants of EGA and LGM respectively, and certain tax matters.” Please expand your disclosure to include a more detailed description of the negotiations surrounding the material terms of the Equity Purchase Agreement and related transactions. The registrant respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the disclosures on pages 173 and 174 in response to the Staff’s comment. 13. Where information was exchanged between the parties during negotiations, clarify whether such information included any forecasts by LMG or its advisors. The registrant respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the disclosures on page 171 in response to the Staff’s comment. 14. It appears that negotiations regarding the Bridge Notes and the business combination had been ongoing and several special board meetings had taken place before a Transaction Committee of the Board was directed to separately meet to review the proposed business combination and various other related matters and make recommendations to the Board with respect thereto. Revise to clarify when potential interests in the transactions by certain of its officers and directors were first disclosed to all independent members of the board, and when the Transaction Committee, which is first mentioned on page 159, was formed. The registrant respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the disclosures on pages 175 and 176 in response to the Staff’s comment. 6 15. You disclose that EGA reviewed over 100 target candidates in different industries and had substantive discussions with over 20 potential targets, which included signing non- disclosure agreements, conducting preliminary due diligence, and/or meetings with senior executives and other senior members of management of, or investors in, those potential targets. However, your disclosure in this section appears to focus almost exclusively on the business combination with LGM. Please expand your discussion in this section to describe the process utilized to evaluate the other potential targets. Please discuss the information gathered, how and by whom it was evaluated, the negotiations which occurred, and any alternative offers that were made or received. Your disclosure should clearly describe the reasons you did not further consider any alternative proposal and explain why EGA deems the business combination with LGM to be superior to available alternatives.

Preliminary Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed May 5, 2023
Letter to EG Acquisition Corp. Stockholders / Cover Page, page 0
1.Due to the level of redemptions by public stockholders and founder share conversions
disclosed in the Form 8-K that EG Acquisition filed on May 25, 2023, the Sponsor now
appears to control a majority of the outstanding Class A common stock. Please revise
your proxy statement to reflect the impact of this control on the approval of the various
proposals, including the Transaction Proposal.
2.We note that following the business combination, PubCo will have two classes of
common stock. Please revise the cover page to disclose this dual class structure and
briefly describe the material features of each class.
3.We note your disclosure that following the Closing, regardless of the percentage of
redemptions, the Existing Equityholders will hold a majority of the PubCo Class B
Common Stock and as a result, will control a majority of the voting power of PubCo. We

further note you disclose that, as a result of the Existing Equityholders’ holdings after
Closing, you will qualify as a “controlled company” within the meaning of the corporate
governance standards of the NYSE. Please disclose that you will be a controlled company
following the Closing on your cover page. Also disclose that upon the completion of the
Business Combination, Thomas James Segrave, Jr., who will serve as PubCo's CEO, will
control PubCo through his holdings of a percentage of outstanding PubCo Class A
Common Stock and PubCo Class B Common Stock constituting approximately 54.2%,
assuming no shares of EGA Class A Common Stock are redeemed and 78.4%, assuming
the maximum shares of EGA Class A Common Stock are redeemed.

4.Please revise your disclosures here and elsewhere to include a third scenario reflecting an
interim redemption level.
5.Revise your disclosure to show the potential impact of redemptions on the per share value
of the shares owned by non-redeeming stockholders by including a sensitivity analysis
showing a range of redemption scenarios, including minimum, maximum, and interim
redemption levels. Also include disclosure regarding your underwriting fees on a
percentage basis for shares at each redemption level.

6.Please clarify if the sponsor and its affiliates can earn a positive rate of return on their
investment, even if other SPAC shareholders experience a negative rate of return in the
post-business combination company.
Risk Factors
Significant increases in fuel costs could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations, page 68
7.We note you disclose that the majority of your contractual service obligations allow you
to make rate adjustments to account for changes in fuel prices. Please update your
disclosure to identify actions planned or taken, if any, to mitigate inflationary pressures in
the other cases. We also note you disclose on page 227 that your cost of revenue increased
by 60% for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31,
2021 in part due to cost of revenue associated with aircraft management and increased
average fuel prices. Provide updated risk factor disclosure if recent inflationary pressures
have materially impacted your operations. In this regard, identify the types of inflationary
pressures you are facing and how your business has been affected.

For the past two years, a significant portion of our total revenues has been derived from one
customer., page 76
8.You disclose that for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, one customer has
accounted for 39% and 23% of total revenue and such customer accounted for
approximately $8.7 million of accounts receivable for the year ended December 31, 2022,
which represented approximately 91% of your total accounts receivable at that time.
Please describe the material terms of any agreement(s) or arrangement(s) that LGM or its
subsidiaries has entered into with this customer.
If the Business Combination is not completed, potential target businesses may have leverage

9.Update your disclosure here and elsewhere to reflect the amendment to your Amended
and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to extend the date by which you must
consummate your initial business combination, up to 5 times, initially from May 28, 2023
to August 28, 2023, and thereafter for additional one month periods commencing on
August 28, 2023 through and until December 28, 2023 (or such earlier date after May 28,

payment(s) agreed to by the sponsor.
The A&R PubCo Charter contains forum limitations for certain disputes between us and our
stockholders that could limit the ability, page 97
10.We note your disclosure here that your exclusive forum provisions do not apply to claims
arising under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal securities laws for
which there is exclusive federal or concurrent federal and state jurisdiction, and that the
A&R PubCo Charter also provides that, unless you consent in writing to the selection of
an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America are the
sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action

issues that were discussed, how parties' positions differed, and how issues were resolved.

"employee of EnTrust Global" who suggested that EGA consider a potential business
combination with LGM is a member of management or an affiliate of the sponsor or EGA,
name the individual and discuss the affiliation(s).
12.We note you state generally that "[t]he Equity Purchase Agreement was principally
negotiated between June 14, 2022 and October 16, 2022, and several drafts were
exchanged between Willkie and Wyrick during such time," and that "[t]opics negotiated

respectively, certain interim operating covenants of EGA and LGM respectively, and
certain tax matters." Please expand your disclosure to include a more detailed description
of the negotiations surrounding the material terms of the Equity Purchase Agreement and
related transactions.
13.Where information was exchanged between the parties during negotiations, clarify
whether such information included any forecasts by LMG or its advisors.
14.It appears that negotiations regarding the Bridge Notes and the business combination had
been ongoing and several special board meetings had taken place before a Transaction
Committee of the Board was directed to separately meet to review the proposed business
combination and various other related matters and make recommendations to the Board
with respect thereto. Revise to clarify when potential interests in the transactions by
certain of its officers and directors were first disclosed to all independent members of the
board, and when the Transaction Committee, which is first mentioned on page 159, was
formed.
15.You disclose that EGA reviewed over 100 target candidates in different industries and had
substantive discussions with over 20 potential targets, which included signing non-
disclosure agreements, conducting preliminary due diligence, and/or meetings with senior
executives and other senior members of management of, or investors in, those potential

which occurred, and any alternative offers that were made or received. Your disclosure
should clearly describe the reasons you did not further consider any alternative proposal
and explain why EGA deems the business combination with LGM to be superior
to available alternatives.
16.You disclose that on April 26, 2022, the parties agreed to and executed the non-
binding letter of intent, which provided, among other things, that the potential business
combination with LGM would be based on a total enterprise value of LGM of
$600 million. Please expand your disclosure to discuss how this valuation was
determined.

17.You disclose on page 246 that you agreed not to enter into a definitive agreement

right impacted your search for an acquisition target.

LGM
Overview of Our Business, page 220
18.We note that you describe the company as having a diversified and evolving business
model that generates charter revenue through wholesale and retail ad hoc flights and a jet
club membership program, guaranteed revenue program, fractional program, partnership
program and other services.
However, on page F-39, you indicate that revenue is derived mainly from the jet club,
guaranteed revenue, and fractional programs along with maintenance, repair and overhaul
services, and in your revenue details on page F-58 you associate 98% or more of total
revenues for all periods with the category of flights.
We also note that you provide essentially the same discussion and analysis of the 54% and
72% increases in revenue for 2022 and 2021 on pages 226-229, in which you attribute the
increases to growth in the aircraft fleet and higher airfare rates, without any discussion of
revenues associated with the various programs or the extent to which revenues increased
due to increases in flights or flight hours and to increases in prices.
Please revise your disclosures in MD&A as necessary to clarify the relative significance
of the various revenue programs and services and the extent to which changes in revenues
are attributable to changes in participation, flight hours, services and prices to comply
with Item 303(a) and (b)(2)(iii) of Regulation S-K.
Please also expand or revise your revenue disaggregation disclosures to more clearly
associate the revenue categories with the various revenue generating activities and
programs described in MD&A to comply with FASB ASC 606-10-55-89, 90 and 91, and
to clarify the extent to which revenues that are presently characterized as flights are
derived from participants in your various programs.
19.We note your disclosure of the fractional ownership revenue program, under
which customers agree to purchase an ownership interest in an aircraft for a contractual
term of up to five years, and thereby gain access to your entire fleet, although also
indicating the arrangement involves two stages, the first of which appears to convey
access to the fleet before any change in ownership occurs.
Please expand your accounting policy disclosures as necessary to clarify your rationale for
presenting sales of fractional ownership interests as revenue, to explain how the benefits
associated with the fractional ownership interests change at the end of the contractual

term, and to describe the terms of any arrangements to repurchase the fractional
ownership interests.
Please also describe the timeline between enrollment and participation in the program and
conveyance of the ownership interests, and the circumstances under which the
arrangement would be established and maintained in the absence of having a designated
aircraft, as you have indicated occurs.
Tell us the total number of participants in the program at the end of each period and the
number of such participants who had not yet acquired the ownership interests, along with
the reasons and your expectations for completing the sales. Tell us the specific accounting
guidance that you have relied upon in formulating your accounting policy.
20.Please expand your discussion and analysis of cost of revenues on pages 227 and 229 as
necessary to clarify the extent to which the 60% and 86% increases for 2022 and 2021
were attributable to increases in the number of flight legs, costs of aircraft operation or
management, and fuel prices to comply with Item 303(a) and (b)(2)(ii) of Regulation S-K.
This guidance requires that you provide descriptions and amounts of matters that have had
a material impact on reported operations, matters that are reasonably likely to have a
material impact on future operations, and that you address any material change in the
relationship between costs and revenues.
Please include the number of flight legs and changes therein along with this disclosure and
incrementally in your tabulation of key operating metrics on page 224.
Key Operating Metrics, page 223
