Cool suit and tie look too!

Don’t know if we are going back to the suit days any time soon...

Some CEOs have gone casual...

Best regards,

The one I looked at and analyzed for the boss was a -8 that was owned by Clorox. After looking at the maintenance costs, going through the maintenance manuals we found cost were excessive and the mounting of the engines drove up that cost. Equally so it was such a fuel hog trans-continental flight was almost impossible and definitely not west bound.

Every bit as complex as a 707, or should I say KC-135 since the guys up front have to deal with the fuel tanks. Pretty funny that the throttle quadrant is marked with arrows for "increase power" and "decrease power", just in case the pilots get confused.

This flight deck is very old school, which I love.

There was a beautiful privately owned one parked near Signature at Oakland off of 28R for a good chunk of 2019-20. I’ve lost sight of it but appeared to be airworthy and was registered. I remember seeing Mario Andretti’s at LGB back when he was racing there in the late ‘80s.

You better have two 401Ks

One to buy the jet and the other to operate the jet!

The purchase price is usually the lower of the two.
