Enjoy your tour off DT jet. AF 1 will be a step down
I can just about see him using his own airfleet even if he’s President.
Trump’s the only one running for President who can’t be bought.
if Trump does not prevail in his candidacy , I hope he opens a media concern and continues , unbeholden to the Saudis , or any other truth mitigating factors .
Who is going to be his running mate/VP?
It won’t be Oprah...regardless of some Trump haters have said.
I’ve flown private many times over the years and have about 100 decks of “Net Jets” playing cards.
Awesome bar, with terrific liquors.
Bathrooms are full of everything. Shaving, deodorants, shke shine kits, cologne, etc.
Dean and DeLuca snacks in compartments.
The best part is being with friends and family.
The funniest things and best times happen, on private and you couod never do some of the things on commercial.
Never a word about electronics and phones needing to be turned off.
The seats are captains chairs that can move around quite a bit and lay, so you can easily and comfortably sleep.
Walk around all you want.
They take everything out of your car for you and put everything in when you arrive.
One of the silliest times was going to see some friends and another friend insisted we take their jet.
Couldn’t find a sitter for the dogs and they insisted we take them on the plane.
So, we took the crate, as it seemed logical for a plane ride.
We show up and look at the tail number. I thought “This can’t be right. We take this for 12 people”.
So the pilot comes over and introduces himself and wants to meets the dogs. He loved em.
We show him the cage and he insists it won’t be necessary.
I insist it probably is because the one dog hasn’t flown private before.
He gets a miss from the lil fella amd says it will be fine. Be picks him up and takes him into the plane.
My jaw hit the ground.
So, I take the other punk and ask the copilot to grab the cage. He says he’ll put it in storage and proceeds to do that.
So, the punks are happy as hell and sniffing this new place out.
I set them on the couch and they are just wild eyed happy.
The pilots bring snacks and water for them and assure us they love dogs.
Okay. This is a plane.
So, we take off and we aren’t even level. The copilot comes back and sits between the dogs and he’s really having fun with them. Weird.
He makes a big deal about the dogs and leaves.
After we level, the pilot comes back and he too has fun with them, even playing a short game of fetch. Dork.
So the flight takes 2 hours and we are all having a ball.
After we land they insist on taking the dogs of the plane and we oblige.
These professionals then run the dogs on the tarmac and have fun!
Afterward I think “Man! That was so much fun!”
And it was.
Funniest time ever.
Just two humans and two dogs, on a plane for twelve and it so comfortable.
Had the best time and the limo driver was a litelong friend of the copilot. He too loved dogs and had brought a Suburban 2500 just for us. I had expected a Town car but, he wanted everyone, including the dogs to spread out.
He gave me a glass of Balvenie, filled up and insisted we try his wife’s tamales. SO GOOD!
Drove us to our friends home, insisted on unpacking our belongings.
He unpacked everything, hung the clothes and even steamed the wrinkles, with a steamer he brought.
Then he laid out the toiletriee on very nice linen.
Amazing!
I tipped that dude big time.
He insisted he be our sole driver and would make himself exlusive for our visit.
True to his word, he drove us whereverwe wanted and even got us into a restaurant that is difficult to get into and somehow made it so we didn’t have to wait and when I entered the restaurant I was greeted with glass of Oban.
Guy was a mind reader or something.
The wait staff was amazing and we never waited for a thing.
The trip home was just relaxing.
New pilots but, they too insisted the dogs roam the cabin of the plane and played with them the whole flight.
They even insisted on pouringme drinks, which I was not comfortable with but, they made it easy.
So, I drank.
Half way through they ask if they can hsve a few snacks and sodas. I laughed and said they deserved it.
Had so much fun.
After we got home and they put our belongings in the car, they informed us that we had an open reservation for one of my favorite restaurants and they did something else they never do:
My car had been detailed and a full tank of gas was put in it.
Bitchin!
Those guys were the best.
Not all flights are like that but, they are just the most helpful guys ever.
Took a flight to San Diego once and the pilot insisted we have dinner in Old Town at a restaurant his friend worked at. Terrific meal and conversation. Fascinating guy with an incredible life story.
He went with us to Tijuana and his Spanish was better than mine, as well he knew the town well.
He was great.
That’s private and that’s why it’s worth it.
My dogs love flying. Who knew?
I’ll get there soon and fly on my own dime.
Up, up and away!!!
Jimmy who?
Maybe he will demand the free loaders start working….I just hope he does not say anything to stupid and out last the press.. he sure knows how to handle them
Rich like Putin.
That was a great story.
Still his money. He earned it.
Envision Next: Air Force-1 with *TRUMP* emblazoned on the side. Heh.
if you’ve got it, flaunt it
A corporate asset is a vehicle for promoting the company, for displaying the name
That’s the old one. The new one is a 757 not a 727.
Got some really funny ones.
This is his upgrade!
