Illini Pilot said:i know he has/had a global because he flew into CMI to talk at U of I last year.
also, if you search that tail # on a.net, there is another picture and its at Boeing Field. i would tend to believe that this is a MS/Bill Gates a/c
bigD said:About a year ago, a privately owned 747SP came to Austin and did a couple of touch and go's before coming to a full stop. I'm not sure what they were doing, but it was amusing to see such a plane do pattern work like a 152. Perhaps the owner was just having a good time?

Hmmmmmmm, twin jet with wing mounted engines, fat fuselage, boeing product, but oh yeah, the are as different as night and day. I'm glad none of you all have ever made a mistake. Lord knows I have made my fair share.
As for having 7K, look, when you get a break as a young pilot flying with the Big Boys, you tend to get the ratings that come with the job, no matter your seat. (hired at Fortune 5 right out of college with 900 hours). Not everybody gets lucky like that, and that's why I believe in giving back.
By the way, recurrent is every 12 months per airplane (UPS and FSI) and it is not that bad at all. Gulfstream requires more brain power than the 75 (as long as nothing is going wrong!!)

Spooky 1 said:You are right, I do think you are a poser. Accrding to UPS contract training they do not have any corporate clients other than the 89th. You have never responded to any technical questions I have asked, and I have never seen anyone other than Ukypa or VFM at any Boeing users conference. I guess Boeing doesn't know you own the aircraft? Duh! Maybe you just flew a 57 at some airline but you certainly don't sound like a "corporate 757" pilot.
Go ahead, make my day. Fortune 500 B757 operator? Big BS'r! Probably all those other ratings are just a figment of your vivid imagination as well.
757BBJ_Capt said:You ask me a technical question, and less than 2 hours later I have not answered it so I am a poser? I do not have the luxury of sitting on my computer all day fielding questions from some guy with nothing better to do. Fortune 500 B757 operator? Nope. We are not ranked on the Fortune list. We are a privately held company (that means we don't issue stock) so our wealth/holdings are not disclosed, as they are required to be by companies that are publically traded. How do you think Fortune gets those numbers? You don't think they just called up CFOs and do a survey do you? Never you mind what manuals we use, or how any aspect of our operation is run. Just know you'll never work here. Don't write back telling me you would never want to work here, because I can assure you, you would. Finally, the price of a manual(s) or any other piece of equipment needed for our aircrafts (that's plural) in no way factors into whether we buy them or not. Keep that in mind and get your facts straight before you write to me next time.
