All the numbers I posted were real. A hangar in California won't be cheap. We flew the GIII 40 hours. You said it cost us 24K an hour to operate, $960,000. No it didn't.

It would help but of course you don't have to have that to be a legal co-pilot. I tried to get typed in the GII/GIII, even got signed off for the checkride, but couldn't find an examiner. Very sad...
