Old planes just have things break from time to time.

I can’t believe he made Pulp Fiction for a mere $140,000.

His contractors didn't want to pay taxes on $140,000,000.

Believe it.

Guess the Movie Wild Hogs just incurred a major hit on the promotional budget.

I wonder how he keeps the house from smelling like jet fumes.

One thing you should never hear around that house is "Light a match!"

How old is that thing? Haven’t 707s been around since the late 50s?

Photo of house doesn't show all....keeping in mind that jet needs a LONG runway to take-off and land.

Pratt and Whitney's are not carbon credit compliant. ; )

I can't even afford carbon offsets for my Briggs and Stratton.

His Boeing 707 has three dining rooms and seats 179 people.

Not a chance. Standard versions will hold that many in cattle car configuration, but that would leave room for your dining rooms. Standard config (2 class) was about 110.

BUT - the -138 was a shortened version sold to Quantas, so the only way you could get 179 folks on there would be to rip out the seats and make them stand.

Sex with that red-neck sheriff?

For the rest of us, we consider someone enjoying the rewards of Capitalism, from hard work, as something to be enjoyed.

Amen brother! I and my siblings come from ‘nothing’ (literally) and it warms my heart when I see him pull his plane (little - seats 6) out of the hangar next to his home and taxi down the drive and onto the runway to take off right in front of his house. Only in the good ole USA!

Someone help me out. Is it possible to fly a 707 alone?? Is there a minimum crew requirement, either by regulation or sheer necessity?

It requires a crew of three.
