Yeah. 5 years later, dude is totally broke.

"What did you do with the money?"

"Spent most of it on hookers & blow, the rest I just wasted."

Yes, I know that's a paraphrase of George Best (and attributed to a lot of other people too).

Anyone know what DZ this guy jumps at?:D:D:D



Two chicks at the same time. I'm pretty sure I can make that happen with a billion dollars.

Even a fat guy could. Just hire a couple porn stars for a few thousand dollars an hour. They'll come, guaranteed. :P

Hey, if $1M gets you two chicks at the same time, $1B should get you 2000, right?:o:)

one thing I would do is go tell all my neighbors for about two miles in every direction to politely grab everything that they give a s*** about and move the f*** out .and then I would go to my local airport and tell everybody that had a hanger and the FBO to do the same.;) the flight line would be a turbine converted 206. A Pac . couple of twin otter's . A Casa. $ 100 tandem's and $10 jumps for experienced jumpers. ;):D:D

You'd see my wife and me landing our P-51 Mustang down in Deland for a week of jumping and scuba diving. Then off to the Bahamas with a boatload of friends for drinks on the beach... . where we'd be building our private wind tunnel. B|



P-38 please.

I'd love to have my own P-51 Mustang or something. But, I'd buy a nice C-130, set it up purely for skydiving, with mats on the floor and slots to make room for the seatbelts, and fly it from DZ to DZ, offering jumps from it at a nice rate. I'd be the only one with a C-130 in the U.S. besides the military, wouldn't I?

FARNBOROUGH - ASL Aviation Group, owner of Safair, the South African-based C-130 operator, has signed a letter of intent with Lockheed Martin for up to 10 LM-100Js, the commercial variant of the C-130J military airlifter.

First deliveries are expected in late 2018 pending the completion of FAA certification. “We started the FAA certification process at the beginning of this year and we expect it to go through the end of 2017,” says Orlando Carvalho, Lockheed Martin Aeronautics executive vice president. “At which point we will enter the test period for validation, which will extend through 2018, so we are looking at first deliveries towards the end of that year.”

Lockheed is focusing on FAR Part 25 certification of the stretched version of the C-130J and says the commercial variant will be priced at around $65 million. “We have sold over 100 C-130s to commercial operators so the idea made a lot of sense to us. Right now our belief is at between 12 to 15 aircraft we will break even on the investment we are making,” Carvalho says. “So we are pursuing it actively and we believe the market may be up in the order of around 300 aircraft.”

The LM-100J “is essentially a replacement” for the current Safair fleet of nine aging C-130s, says ASL Aviation Group chief executive Hugh Flynn. “What we are talking about with Lockheed is a gentle transition. We have been backing up the L-100 fleet with 737 Combis. But they can’t do what a Hercules can do, things like oil slick spraying and so on. In the long term the objective is to grow the fleet across [cargo] integrators, oil spill and humanitarian aid and relief.”

I would take care of my family and friends and donate heavily to my favorite charities, Then!! buy a few properties at each end of my runway, extend it from 2700' to over a mile, pave it, and put in a vasi. Buy all the planes my Dad had in the old days, restore them and jump the hell out of them. Add a DC3, Porter, and twin Otter. Invite my long time friends over to skydive. Buy a jet for traveling to my many homes across the US. I guess my wife might have some say in all this.

I would have the best intentions but in reality it would probably be the worst thing to ever happen to me.
