I wouldn't think so after this accident. RIP.
In 1992, In-N-Out opened its first non-southern California restaurants in Las Vegas, Nevada. Expansion then began into northern California, including the San Francisco Bay Area, while additional Las Vegas-area restaurants were added. However, after opening restaurant #93 in Fresno, California, on December 15, 1993, Rich Snyder and four other passengers died in a plane crash on approach to John Wayne Airport in Orange County, California. The charter aircraft they were on had been following a Boeing 757 in for landing, became caught in its wake turbulence, and crashed. The ensuing crash investigation led to the Federal Aviation Administration requirement for an adequate distance between heavy aircraft and following light aircraft to allow wake turbulence to diminish.
Upon Rich's death in 1993, his brother, Guy Snyder, assumed the presidency and continued the company's expansion through the 1990s, dying in 1999 from an overdose of painkillers.[8] He was only president for six years, but during this time, In-N-Out had expanded from 93 to 140 locations.[16] Esther Snyder, his mother and one of In-N-Out's original two founders, subsequently took over the presidency.
These both were the founder's only sons.
RIP

Yeah, they never did have a flight Department. It was a charter. I saw the smoke from the crash just after it happened. I was working at Tustin MCAS and looked over to see a bunch of smoke. thought it was a house fire or something. Later that night learned it was a Corporate jet with some of the In and out Family members on board.. .. It wasn't too long after that they expanded outside of California..
