Seeing as how I'm now the proud owner of a new company, I decided I needed a new ride. Of course, as a stylish entrepreneur, it needs to be a stylish ride!
So, with one of our investors (just to make sure I don't spend too much!), I headed down to the Al Bateen airport in Abu Dhabi to check out the jets at the 2012 Private Airshow.
Of course, I can't afford a shiny, new jet. I'm more in the market for a family jet - perhaps a hatchback, lightly used, but still under warranty. You know, a nice Toyot--err, Learjet or something.
For those of your with really big families, however, don't worry! You can always get the private jet equivalent of an RV, your very own private 737 from Royal Jet.
It even comes with a full bedroom and shower (the kids sleep on one of the 12 pull-out couches).
No airshow would be complete - or any buyer ready to purchase - without a nice display of skydiving, acrobats, and smoke-based UAE pride. Fortunately, the show didn't disappoint:
So did I buy a jet? Sadly, no - but I considered a nice mid-life-crisis single engine Italian sports-plane:
Runner-up quote of the day: "So I can shoot things down in this plane, right?"
Winning quote of the day: "Do you think I can smoke on this plane?" "I would hope so - it's your plane, right?"
