The Flight underwent a office change in 2007 when David Fox took over the roles of general manager and head coach from founder Tyler Whitcomb.

The team was owned by the Grand Rapids Junior Jammers Youth Foundation from 2008 to 2010, a non-profit based in Grand Rapids, Michigan founded by David Fox.

The Grand Rapids Flight at one time held the record for most points scored in a single game, after a 179–146 drubbing of the Des Moines Heat.

The Flight made international news in 2007 by signing 7-foot-9-inch (236 cm) basketball player Sun Mingming, still known as the tallest athlete in the world.

For the 2008 season the Flight played their home games at the DeltaPlex Arena.
