He is using Williams International FJ44-3. I think it is one of the first -3's we built. Pretty exciting to have had your hand on something like this. I'm no millionaire so I just have to settle for working for one.

Mr. Fossett has done a great many things. I respect his work, don't get me wrong.
Have any of his records been set on the first attempt?
