19 year old buys a private jet!
Hey Steve, Daddy's finally agreed to let me buy my first check, but he's only giving me a 50 million budget. 15 million, that's not so bad. Come on, let's go sit down and we can go look through some options.
So how many people do you think you want to carry? Well, I don't want to carry that many of my friends, so I'd say 12.
Okay, and let's say you want an airplane, maybe 10 years old or so. 10 years? People are going to make fun of me; that's half of my age! Maximum four.
No, no, no! You can really get a used airplane 10 years old. It's not so old on an airplane. It's not so old for a person either, but for an airplane, that's pretty average.
All right, let's see what you recommend. Okay, so if we take 15 million dollars with 12 passengers, 10 years old, let me ask you: what do you think the longest trip that you're going to want to make, from where to where?
So, I travel around Europe. You have to get to lay quite frequently to see my agents during the year. So, going from London today, you got about 4,700 nautical miles. But when you take in a comfort factory, you need about 5,500 nautical mile range. That's going to really bring it down to a global.
