    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!
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    It was from an April Fools gag:

    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

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

    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
