It’s going to hurt resale value, but it’s your jet.

Just dont over polish the chamfers, it disturbs the aesthetics (and the flight ability)

That would have been quite a dream. I did meet a U2 pilot once. It sounded more like flying in space than what Sir Richard Branson recently accomplished.

i can’t show you my private jet, because I don’t have one. However, I could show you how I get around on public transportation.

Not necessarily “private” but generously funded by American tax payers, is an entire fleet of aircraft flown by the United States Air Force which I have the distinct pleasure of maintaining. These assets are heavily guarded and access to them is extremely limited. Kind of like Rolexes. Hahaha

Rich is a subjective term. Really wealthy to you may be standard to someone else, or vice versa.

Aside from that, multi millionaires, who I’d consider rich, wear Rolexes. Amongst other brands.

I also think you’d be surprised at how many HNW’s are on this forum.

This....BUT I would add that there are some very, VERY VERY wealthy members on this forum, that are wealthy by any person's standards.

Like several hundred million networth++++ members. More than just ordinary HNW.

This thread reminds me of a time when I was awarded a vacation for sales performance.

All expenses paid trip to the Ritz in Naples, FL.

I'm a/was a blue collar guy. Came from nothing (still have nothing, comparatively thinking where I'm going with this).

I'll never forget entering our suite for the week and sitting on the coffee table was a local magazine, you know the ones, every metropolitan center has their local publications for business advertising etc.

On the cover depicted a gorgeous jet with a beautiful picture perfect couple standing in front of the jet, shit eating grins, ear to ear.

The headline below read 'How to buy A private jet and really start living'.

I said to myself out loud. What world did I just enter?

I hated that week, bottles of water were $12USD.

Mine too is being serviced at Boyd Aviation by the guy from Ajax, Gordon Liddy.
It’s a Citation ll.
Problems with the 7th fetzer valve or bypass line.
Waiting on some pliers, 30 weight ball bearings, 3 in 1 oil and 10 quarts of antifreeze, preferably Prestone, no, make that Quaker State.

One of those manure spreaders jackknifed on the Santa Ana. God awful mess. You should see me shoes.

A photo of Rolex’s corporate jet. I am sure that Rolex executives all wear a specific brand on the flight.

A photo of wrist shots on the plane would be appropriate for their fans.
