Personally I don't care where someone comes from, what they do, or who they are. I had a look around someones hangar in the USA.
But just out of interest, what does he do? I'm always curious
as to how people make enough dosh for multiple fancy aircraft buys.

When I flew a 3 million quid EC135 for Today's Pilot, I asked what the owner did. Owned a bank, apparently. OK then, that explains it. And the chap who owned the EC155 that I'm still angling to fly sold an internet business for some massive figure that I wouldn't even know how to write, or how many noughts it had on the end.

I guess I'll just have to make do with flying and writing about these sorts of aircraft. I'm not complaining though.

Super rich! When you have tons of cash, I imagine £1000 per hour is pretty cheap.

Apparently it can cost $20,000 to fly from the east coast to west coast of America in fuel alone in some biz jets

Owned a bank, apparently

Much more likely, he described himself as a "banker". These are two a penny. Anybody in a senior banking position calls himself a "banker". In Switzerland, almost everybody seems to be a "banker"

Don't be daft! It's just ironic in a thread about the reducing quality of post, it goes completely off topic and ends up becoming a chat room, instead of a place for discussion.

No offence taken, but

I shall refrain from posting further until I have something of quality to say
There's a risk that this will get VERY boring. Time to move on?

It's mostly rubbish anyway. It's been devised by ex RAF navigators and ex British Airways captains, to separate the men from the sheep. Not sure what the plan was for the gurls

It seems that this thread supports the theory of self fulfilling prophesy.
