I saw a story on this place on one of the Discovery or Discovery like
networks. It looked like the guy really took care of the aircraft and
regularly went out for evening flights for the fun of it. He obviously has
more money than God, but they never mentioned where that money came from. My
first thought was he was an arms dealer. Not that there's anything wrong
with that.
