The rich and famous usually fly in their own private jets. Equipped with luxurious interiors to suit their delicate taste, these private planes such as Cessna, Boeing, or Convair, make the trips their wealthy owners more comfortable and enjoyable. So, next time you fly in economy class I bet you’ll think about these lucky guys.
Here I have compiled some of the most famous private jets. I hope you will like it.
Donald Trump’s Jet
Originally operated by American Airlines, this 1968 vintage jet has pale leather armchairs, gold plated seatbelt buckles, oil paintings, and Waterford crystal lamps. The ‘Trump’ logo on the side of the aircraft made of 23 carat gold leaf.
Harrison Ford’s Jet
Harrison Ford pilots his own CJ3, which can carry six people in comfort for some 1,900 nautical miles. Ford is considered so good a pilot that the FAA asked him to be the spokesman for the runway incursion awareness and prevention campaign.
Wayne Huizenga’s Jet
One of the most rugged and reliable utility transport aircraft ever built, the unpressurized Twin Otter can carry up to 19 people and take off from and land on rough strips as short as 100 yards. This aircraft appeared in a seaplane chase scene in the James Bond film ‘Casino Royale’.
Bill Gates jet
This jet can carry eight people at a cruising altitude of 51,000 feet for a distance of 6,500 nautical miles, a range that permits nonstop Tokyo-New York or Los Angeles-Moscow flights.
Elvis Presley’s Convair
Named ‘Lisa Marie’ after Elvis’ daughter, this Convair 880 was customized with 28 seats instead of the usual 110. The tail of the now preserved jet was painted with The King’s personal ‘TCB’ logo, which stands for ‘Takin’ Care of Business’.
Mark Cuban’s Boeing
Billionaire Mark Cuban, who owns the Dallas Mavericks NBA basketball team, reportedly had custom-made seats installed on the aircraft that are large enough to accommodate the team’s tallest players.
Air Force One
The aircraft used to transport the President on important state and domestic visits, Air Force One is a Boeing 747-200B that has been heavily modified with secure communications systems, electronic equipment, a self-contained baggage loader, front and aft air stairs, and the ability to refuel in-flight.
John Travolta Jets
John Travolta lives in Jumbolair north of Ocala, Florida. He has five private jets along with his own private runway.
The Sultan of Brunei’s Boeing
The Sultan bought this 747 brand new for at least $100 million and had it fitted with a special interior and features such as washbasins of solid gold and Lalique crystal at an additional cost of some $120 million. The Sultan has several other aircraft, but this is his largest.
