I want to start my own airplane business. I'm going to buy two Dakotas, paint them up in war colours and do, er, nostalgia trips to Arnhem - you know, where the old paratroopers used to go - and charge them about 20 quid a time.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
At American Airlines, we have built a business around the love of travel that has lasted three quarters of a century. And I'm pretty sure we're just getting started.
I was hooked on aviation, made model airplanes, and never thought I would be able to fly myself. It cost too much. But then World War II came along and changed all that.
I'd love to fly, especially with the gas prices right now.
I spent about seven years during the Vietnam War flight-testing airplanes for the Air Force. And then I went in and I had a lot of fun building airplanes that people could build in their garages. And some 3,000 of those are flying. Of course, one of them is around-the-world Voyager.
I don't buy things now, I buy plane tickets. The only thing I want is to make enough money to be able to travel with my children.
Hopefully I can go back and forth from the United States to Asia. I feel joint productions could be the way of the future. I'll need a private plane to charter the international waters!
I could buy an island. I could buy a private jet - but I have NetJets.
I own a small aerospace company that does some business with the U.S. government.
Airplanes are interesting toys, but of no military value.
When I started I'd fly across the country to do a gig for a hundred bucks.
