Thirty Amazing Facts About Private Jets
President Obama recently called for the elimination of “tax breaks for private jet owners,” painting anyone who doesn’t cram themselves into 28 inches of economy legroom as a fat-cat wastrel. (www.forbes.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
If you do away with depreciation and expense deductions on private aircraft then to be fair you would do the same on cars, airline travel, all capital expenditures, etc. in other words just go to a flat use tax. Ok!
Seems really unorganized and only basic facts, many of which I already knew.
Let's see here,Private Jet Charter costs $2400 an hour. Air Force One costs $180,000 an hour. I have no idea how much Michelles Jet Runs an hour, but I am sure it is a six digit figure. The people I fly aroung generate jobs and stimulate the economy because they are good at it.
If it were up to me, the ones at the top of our government would only get a C-21(Lear Jet 35). I was taught to lead by example while serving in the military. I say to our leaders.....Lead Follow or Get The Hell out of the way.

It's funny that this story popped up today. I was looking at the History Channel yesterday, and they had a special about Air Force One et al. Apparently, whenever AF1 travels, AF2 must travel along in case something happens. They also take 'The Beast' and 2 other presidential limos on a C130, I believe. I'm not sure if anything has changed, but that's a lot of fuel being used at a very high hourly rate.
yep.....not to mention the escorts in the air and on the ground
Those procedures have been in effect ever since Pres Reagan was shot. Yes it's over-much....but nothing really new! Too bad such procedures weren't in effect for Pres Kennedy.....
I believe Kennedy was an inside job anyway
I couldn't agree more! Oh yes; I've seen the many re-takes,re-makes,re-runs, ad- nauseam..... as have you!! But JFK,RFK,MLK... all similar! Makes no sense to me then.... or now!
That is back when there were people that were still proactive in the country and especially in politics. Now everyone has sold out for money. Just can't get a good conspiracy going these days.
