He bought a 727?

It's a 707 actually. N707JT.

What would he want a commercial for? He's not going for a pilot job.

It's simple. You hire a real pilot to fly the thing. The SIC
doesn't
need a type rating.

I understand but I find it strage. As a pilot, if I had that much money
I would certainly enjoy getting the type rating.

i am and i do to.

everything i've seen/read says he loves and respects flying and
approaches it very responsibly.

Sh! Don't say that around my wife. I'm working on my commercial just for
the fun of it.

Most people that get commercials don't go for a pilot job. Most get it
because they enjoy flying and want to achieve something fun. (As did I
until I later decided to get the CFI).

Max Pruss IV?

Sorry, you might have to look that one up before it's remotely funny....then

I guess he'll be constructing a hangar for his new toy unlike the
others that sit outside his home.

Who's going to be the lucky ferry pilot that brings that craft over from
