Thread: Donald Trump's New 757

The Sultan of Brunei is so broke that he can't even salvage his own massive car collection. The Sultan doesn't run off his own wealth either, so he's out in my book. Donald isn't a Warren Buffett; Donald neither cares about security, nor cost of ownership. Donald is all about owning the scene and using his money to live the life. People always have and always will give Donald negative raves, but the guy works like I work. I've always said that, and it's the truth. Donald is a guy who runs his empire, and I mean that he runs it--he might not be as efficient as he should be, but he goes for it and takes on what he wants in life. Donald uses his money to buy things that are for people of his worth, and there's nothing wrong with that. Sure, you can have billions and just sit on it, but Donald spends it. He's like the guy who drives his Ferrari, instead of letting it sit and collect dust. The man is straight-forward and runs his board on that principle. The jet fits him, no doubt.

I spearheaded our C-21 vs C-12 AFCPFH (Air Force Cost Per Flying Hour) study years ago, lets see if I can locate data on any model 757. BTW, downgraded to C-12s as a cost savings measure.
