Personally I would love to have the money to own and operate as many airplanes as he has. I know I would love to get into a career in aviation.

How the hell could he afford a places like that with those planes even? He can’t be that rich? I would think maintaining toys like that would be in the billionaires only club.

Wow, that’s a cool pad. As long as he doesn’t jump on the “carbon exemption” bandwagon, you go Travolta!

The old used jet market is a very squishy thing. Don't know what they go for nowdays.
I remember a few years ago when 737-200s mothballed when they ran out out greentime on the HMV, you could pick them up for $800K, for a 727 about 1 /2 million, 2 mill or so for an old 707.
If he wanted something he could make some money with, he should have bought one of UAL’s retired DC8-73’s (re engined with the CFM56) UPS got some, and so did Air Canada IIRC.

If it is a politician with such a spread that would be bad, but a movie star, okay.

Two emergency landings in the last eight years with that bird.
Sounds to me like it’s time to flush that turd.

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

He was in Ocala about 3 weeks ago for the premiere of Wild Hogs - he rode in on his HOG with wife Kelly. The premiere party was held nearby - I believe that tickets were $200 a head, by invitation only. All proceeds benefited the tornado victims of Lake County.
A big deal for Slow-cala!
