Wilson said he believes a significant part of the resort's membership comes from the Bay Area. Yellowstone Club could not be reached for comment by press time, but an anecdote in a 2012 Bloomberg article[1] identified Jim Davidson[2], co-founder and managing partner of Menlo-park based private equity firm Silver Lake, as a member.While declining to identify specific names, Wilson described the flights as being run in "partnership" with several Bozeman resort owners, who will "cover part of the costs of the operations."JetSuite uses Atlantic Aviation's facilities at San Jose airport to runs its private jet service, but JetSuiteX will use Signature Flight Support for its charter flights.
