8. The Sultan of Brunei and his Boeing 747-430
yet show his A-340 and the interior of the A-340. Only the last pic shows a 747...Hmmm :)
And what the hell is with the photoshopped green AF-1?

I agree Fred poorly done. Look at Huzinga's Twin Otter, 2 pics are his, and one is a foreign registration.
Then there is Harrison Ford, and his CJ3, yet they show pics of a CJ1 & CJ2.
Boooooooooooooo

how is the CJ3 ranked as #1? at least he flies a single-pilot airplane. i think the interior of that Brunei A340 is gaudy! the albatross is sweet!
How is AF1 Not number 1 as what other aircraft has a MISSLE DEFENCE SYSTEM? What other aircraft is kept better than that?? THEN WHERE THE HELL ARE MY TAX DOLLARS GOING! I WANT THE BLING BLING!
PRES, PIMP THAT RIDE!!!! SPINNERS MAN.... SPINNERS!

It was from an April Fools gag:
http://science.howstuffworks.com/air-fo ... hybrid.htm (http://science.howstuffworks.com/air-force-one-hybrid.htm)
Acting on an initiative created by President George W. Bush, the U.S. government has unveiled a new version of the president's venerable aircraft, which most people know as Air Force One. The new version, a modified Boeing 747-400, uses a combination of flexible fuel and hybrid technology to improve fuel efficiency as it shuttles the president to appointments around the world.
Of course it was obviously a gag - no one would actually believe GWB would push for an environmentally-friendly jet :wink:

Pretty sure Harrison Ford is not a billionaire, nor was Elvis.

Screw the list, this is my favorite, a corporate 777.

AND Harrison Ford is a helo pilot and I believe he has a Bell 407 which he uses to help in SAR missions in Jackson, Wyoming.
On Wikepedia they have a whole section of aircraft he owns or has owned.

wiki is very often wrong, but he does had a 407. i'm not 100% but i think the beaver he did a movie with was his as well.

Matt, your correct. The Beaver was in fact his. I remember reading a big article on it in Flying Mag. around the time that movie came out in the 90's. Hey Mike, that wouldnt happen to be MedEast Jets 777-200ER would it?
Also on another note, locally there is a pretty sweet Global not flown by the owner though. Charles Wong as a Global on loan from Bombardier untill his is ready registered as N700GB. Very plain colors but the interrior is amazing on it. Probably my favorite interrior on a Purpose built biz jet. N727EC a ex Lufthansa 727-100 wins overall though. The throttles are gold plated on that airplane. Absolutely gorgeous. A guy who made some serious money in the telecom business owns it. It has been PBI based for a few years now. His son went to the Tennis academy I went to for a few months down in Bradenton, Florida so they flew to SRQ pretty often.

Not sure who the current is now of the 777 corporate jet, when the picture was taken, I think the group that owned the 777 was Saudi Ogre. Royal family also owned several other aircraft including a BBJ & a G-IV

Uhh.....they stole my Trump photo without permission.
Their site even says to contact them if a photo is misused.....but there is nowhere on the site that even has an email address or any kind of contact info. Can anyone help me out?

That is a really nice photo Phil, was that two years ago at kids day when Warren took you for a ride? Anyway, sorry you put the camera down this year. Once again, nice shot!
