Taylor Swift sells off one of her $40m private jets
Daily Mail UK ^ | Feb 7, 2024

Posted on 02/07/2024 12:46:31 PM PST by CondoleezzaProtege

She previously sold a smaller Dassault Falcon 50 jet in 2020, after she purchased it in 2012 for $4million. Swift donated the proceeds to charity.

It is unclear if Swift is planning to upgrade her fleet just in time for the longest leg of her international tour starts – jetting to Australia to perform on February 16.

This comes as it was revealed Swift's lawyers sent a letter to Jack Sweeney, 21, demanding that he stop logging her flights and locations.

Sweeney, a junior at the University of Central Florida, has run several accounts that track the flight paths of planes and helicopters owned by celebrities, billionaires, politicians and other public figures.

His accounts use publicly available data, and also share the estimates of their planet warning emissions – with the college student first going head to head with Elon Musk in 2022 for sharing his jet's details.

Do I have a right to know where you are going in your private car?

No, because you aren't required by law to file a "drive log" every time you get in your car.

Pilots are required to file flight logs and their jets with the FAA every time they take to the air. That information is available to the public thru the right internet sites.......

Hmmmm, 18,000 feet?
Don’t go throwing numbers around like that. There are many factors that require a flight plan to be filed.

Flight plans are required if you are going to fly above 18,000 feet or IFR.

“Hmmmm, 18,000 feet? ‘

Yes.

“Don’t go throwing numbers around like that. There are many factors that require a flight plan to be filed.”

IFR and flying over DC or ADIZ. Much other than that, no flight plan is required to be filed.

I could tell you a couple stories about the wing carry throughs and spars on King airs that would curl your hair. I used to machine quite a lot of them. Damn fine plane.

That is a correct statement and would apply to most privately owned propeller driven aircraft.

However, private jets typically fly at altitudes between 41,000 and 45,000 feet so flight plans are required.

Thanks for your input.......

This whole ‘carbon credit’ nonsense is just that - nonsense. It is nothing but paying unknown hysterics to say “you’re a good guy.” It reduces nothing. It solves nothing.

I’ve never heard of her lecturing about climate change, but maybe I missed it.

It is amazing how much some of these performers make.

Alex Lifeson (former RUSH guitarist, I guess worth $30 million or so) was talking recently about some of the music projects he is working on. And how he can just do whatever he wants (musically) and is enjoying it. “I mean, it’s not like I need the money.”

She’s worth north of $1bn so it doesn’t really matter [if she owns versus leasing or chartering]. If she spends a few million either way I’m sure it’s worth it to her to have full control of the jet.

She didn't reach a billion by not having smart financial advisors. Buying a jet sinks cash into a asset that's losing value whereas financing it allows her to write it the business expenses while putting her cash into something profitable such as her tours.

The sale of N898TS, the Dassault Falcon 900LX, was confirmed a couple of days ago. I think she’s in the market to get a Dassault Falcon 8X (which just recently started production) or get a high-end Bombardier or Gulfstream business jet that could fly up to 7,000 nautical miles.

There is flight tracker software on line which tracks everywhere based on the airplane transponder.
https://www.flightradar24.com/32.24,-111.02/6
Same for ocean going vessels.

All you really need is airplane tail number which is public.
Most of the Elite have their planes listed as a company so they can hide where they are flying.
