[purbeast0]

damn that is awesome.

 

[waggy]

meh. it can do.

 

[Printer Bandit]

pilots sold separately.

 

[CraKaJaX]

Hell yes. :thumbsup:

I'm wondering why they mentioned the sheep skin pilot's seat absorbs sweat well...? If I'm flying a $65M private jet, there best be AC shooting from at least 85 different angles at me.

I wonder who's on the waiting list already?

 

[dainthomas]

It's kinda small. I'd probably have to get another one for my servants.

 

[Kaido]

meh. it can do.

Yeah, we roll better than that here on ATOT:

Ppppfffffttt!! HAW! What a puny mode of transportation - who buys these tiny jets, the middle class?!

Get a private 747, or GTFO.

Dianne Feinstein owns a Gulfstream G650.

Ask yourself how corrupt a civil servant has to be to have a $175K annual salary and yet own a private jet like that.

Senator Dianne Feinstein has long been accused of corruption and unethical behavior in Congress. From going after the Second Amendment to making tens of millions of dollars through her husband’s companies, Feinstein seems to take unbridled glee in being one of the most corrupt members of Congress today.

Recently, a new wave of accusations has been levied at Feinstein, this time focusing on a deal that started in 2011 when the Post Office awarded the CBRE Group Inc. a contract to be the sole marketer of USPS properties. Feinstein’s husband, Richard Blum, just so happens to be the Chairman of the Board of the CBRE Group.

That’s right, the United States Post Office, apparently facing a deficit of billions of dollars, has earmarked for disposal over 600 taxpayer funded properties; and a company whose Chairman is the husband of a powerful California Senator stands to reap the benefit.

A search of your quote only brings up the fringiest of the fringe right wing sources.

Is she planning to direct Jade Helm 2 (Operation Destroy Texan Freedum) from her airborne command center?

 

[Atomic Playboy]

Naturally, there are several big television screens:

Yeah, that TV is fucking "huge." It's nearly 50% larger than a modest bouquet of flowers! Boy those rich know how to live.

Perhaps even a dumbass can understand what the LA Times said about the scam:

http://www.latimes.com/local/la-me-berkeley-post-office-20131208,0,3447002.story#ixzz3p8FJBupq

"This is a cynical attempt to strip public assets from communities for private gain," Harvey Smith, an advisor to the UC Berkeley-based Living New Deal Project, recently told a packed Planning Commission meeting. "It's a heist of our cultural heritage."

. . .

Riling many here is the exclusive deal with CBRE Group, whose chairman, Richard Blum, is married to U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.).

A recent e-book by investigative journalist Peter Byrne details allegations of below-market sales to CBRE clients and investors. (CBRE has declined to comment on those claims.) A June audit by the Office of Inspector General raised unrelated "conflict of interest" concerns and noted "poor oversight" of the CBRE contract."

The chairman of a Fortune 500 company either owns or has access to a private jet via his company. I am shocked beyond belief.

Exclusive brokerage agreements, especially with government agencies, are quite common.

I was wrong. Dumbasses apparently do not understand what conflict of interests means.

 

[Ns1]

emirates first class is better.

Is that why it's qualified as "unrelated"?

I'm a fan of any airplane that has it's own stand up bar staffed by very attractive help.

super quality top shelf liquor, and decent bar snacks too. Somewhere around hour 8 of flying, the bar becomes a happening place.

 

[JulesMaximus]

That's about $60 million more than I have.

No matter what you do, the sun gets some heat on you in the cockpit. I put up moving shades etc but it still gets in there.

Billionaires buy the G650 because time is money and they can save many hours as the G650 travels much faster with a very long range. They use the Boeing VVIP jets for when they want to take leisurely trips with family.

 

[Insomniator]

Pretty awesome, 65 million is even beyond most athletes' money. This thing is for straight up CEO's.

 

[dave_the_nerd]

Yeah... I'd still want a civilian V-22 instead.

Not bad, but not as cool as that jet with a freaking THRONE.
