• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

That's just frickin rediculous. Gold plated faucets, gold plated seatbelt latches, give me a break. Wanna spend the money for a jet, fine. No need to go insane while doing it....
 
I'm very sorry you pointed me to that website, with one trash article after another. Now I'm depressed, thanks :kilroy:

Nobody ever accused the man of having taste. :icon_lol:

Bless 'im, couldn't he afford a widebodied jet? Roman Abramovich currently owns a Boeing 767, nicknamed "The Bandit" because of the rather interesting way they have painted the cockpit. (here). He was rumoured to have bought an A340 (and for a while the final A340-300 was earmarked for him, but it has now gone into airline service; obviously he isn't commenting, and neither are Airbus - rumour control now has him either looking at obtaining an A340-300 from Virgin, or purchasing an A380 instead. It's a tough life!! :icon_lol:

Pretty much 'par for the course' I'm afraid; as Andy says; just because they are wealthy doesn't mean they have taste..
'BizzJets' (slang) are now my full-time employment, we had one customer wanted to gold plate his aeroplane's wheels; wasn't the cost that put him off, it was projected time getting an STC mod through certification (thank goodness!!!)
