Default If You Could Own Only One Jet
If you could only own one jet, what would it be? I love big scale military jets, but if I absolutely had to pick just ONE jet and knew that I would never be allowed to fly another, it would be a BVM Bandit. It cuts through the air like a hot knife through butter and just feels sooooooo good from start to finish. Mine has been out of commission this summer undergoing some repairs and I feel like I've lost one of my children. I'll have it back in the air shortly and I'm as excited as if it were the first time.

That McLaren Vodafone Ultra Bandit from the UK. In my opinion it makes any other model look toyish.

That's a short trip for the G550. It has 14 hour range...more time with the cabin attendants.

Come on...I mean how many cart donkeys can you have on a G550 crew? At least get a 757-200ER with Rolls motors...that way you can choose from many more!

Sorry Beave, I'd have to disagree with you.
I'd recommend an Emirates Airlines B-777 ULR. It comes with at least 13 beautiful young ladies from 22 to 25 years old chosen among 12 000...[sm=spinnyeyes.gif]

Additionally, the plane comes fitted with GE 115 B1L1 ( latest version with takeoff bump over 115 500 lbs or 150 000 hp per engine) but who cares ?
