If we choose to keep those tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires, if we choose to keep a tax break for corporate jet owners, if we choose to keep tax breaks for oil and gas companies that are making hundreds of billions of dollars, then that means we’ve got to cut some kids off from getting a college scholarship.
I have great respect for people who live out their beliefs. For example, Ed Begley Jr. is an environmentalist, but he really lives his lives, and is he very prudent in the way he lives. He’s cautious. He’s not like an Al Gore that flies around in a private jet and burns 20,000 gallons a day on his jet.
All tours are filled with humiliation. My publisher once hired a private jet to fly me to a venue where 1,000 people were waiting. It almost bankrupted him.
If you’re on a night flight or are incredibly tired from jet lag, somehow a tiny bit of bronzer and self-tanner on your face, legs, and arms just makes you feel rejuvenated and refreshed.
Most of my fans know I love video games. I say it in every interview, so they know. But one thing that I like doing is skateboarding, I like jet skiing, skydiving. It’s like a huge roller coaster ride. Like forty seconds of free-falling. That’s some of the stuff I love, daredevil stuff. I like horseback riding.
We’re expanding ‘Ebony’ and ‘Jet’ on the digital side to attract and maintain a younger audience.
I hate jet lag, but I love, love, love, love traveling – to meet new people, to try different foods because I’m a big foodie. I love food, even though people think models don’t eat. We do eat.
I’ve always used my hair for whatever it is needed for. I had it an inch long and jet black for a Pinter play I did. Changes you completely.
Wonder Woman is lame. She flies around in an invisible jet, but she’s not invisible. I don’t get it.
I remember being in St. Lucia and my dad taking me out on a jet ski. I was very young, too young, but, yup, dad does like to break rules.
Nothing focuses your mind quite like flying a jet. That’s one reason NASA requires that astronauts fly T-38s: it forces us to concentrate and prioritize in some of the same ways we need to in a rocket ship.
When I was at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory back in the early ’80s is when I first got the idea. The Super Soaker was based on some engineering principles that I applied. I was actually working on another invention which was a heat pump that would use water as a working fluid instead of Freon.
Eating a lot on the plane is not good for jet lag.
When I arrive at my destination, I like to hit the gym, as I find exercise helps combat jet lag.
I want to fly a jet. I’d love to just be in the air and go mach 3 or mach 4. Or, I’d be an underwater salvager. I’ve always been fascinated with the Bermuda Triangle and Atlantis. I love chemistry, also. That’s why acting is so random for me!
Canada Day comes and goes modestly every year. Sure, there are retail sales promotions and a long weekend. But there isn’t bluster or commodity in Canadian celebration. Canada isn’t big on bunting. Or jet flyovers, fireworks, marching bands or military pomp.
We had at our disposal the first operational jet, which superseded by at least 150 knots the fastest American and English fighters. This was a unique situation.
When a man has seen the aerodynamic shape of a Caravelle jet at an airport, he doesn’t need aerodynamic furniture.
My go-to necktie is jet black, skinny, and simple. It goes with everything. I really like that mod-ish punk look.
At the age of 19, I removed myself from society for almost four months, setting off years of manic episodes, including outrageous overspending. I bought several Mercedes because I thought I could. I had no money, but I rented a jet.
I came to office promising major ethics reform to end the culture of self-dealing. And today, that ethics reform is a law. While I was at it, I got rid of a few things in the governor’s office that I didn’t believe our citizens should have to pay for. That luxury jet was over-the-top. I put it on eBay.
I’ve always been big into snowmobiles, four-wheelers, jet skis, all kinds of those X Games kind of things.
I had always realized it was desirable to gear down the jet.
You can find us fishing in Miami offshore somewhere, riding jet skis, and doing fun stuff like that. My brother likes to ski and get out in the snow. We really are nature boys, and when it comes to getting out there and being in nature, there’s not too much we don’t like.
I probably wouldn’t be a good spokesman for an electric car, because I’ll still get on a private jet, and one flight on a private jet undoes all my electric-car good deeds.
Those things don’t happen today. I feel sorry for the kids in the industry today. They have on sunglasses, eat caviar in jet planes, but they’ll never know the true feeling that we did.
I wound up getting offered a job at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory where I invented a power supply mechanism for the Galileo space craft which was in orbit around Jupiter until 2003.
No, we always had something to do because I did all the wave runners and jet skis and boats approaching the atolls and stuff like that, so you could do that without showing the actual atoll or the set that you’re going towards, but detailing all those guys racing towards it.
My jet lag is getting a bit ridiculous. But, you know, it’s first-world problems. It’s a wonderful problem, ‘Oh I have to travel around the world; how awful.’
Corruption is when a politician uses public funds to deliver pistachio ice cream to his home and transfer garden furniture to his Caesarea villa, then requesting that the expenses be covered for the water in his pool and fights to get a private jet.
If you are someone’s guest on a corporate jet, the most important thing to remember is not just to be on time, but to be early. If you hold up the departure of the jet by as much as 10 minutes, you may cause the plane to wait in line for another hour or two before obtaining new clearance.
I don’t want to buy a jet plane. I don’t want to live with an entourage.
I would love to jet set all around and take all the fashion weeks if I really could. I would love to go from London to Paris to Milan and just do them all. I think that would be amazing.
I had heard stories about witches flying on a broom as a kid and I would always think, wow, they had their own private jet.
The effect of the foreign direct investment of Etihad in Jet Airways and the implied bilateral agreement of air services between India and the UAE has primarily damaged Air India, which is a government-owned airline with huge assets that are extremely valuable.
My main incentive now is to be so successful that I can get a private jet and sit with the pilot. I got upgraded to first class the other week, but even there I was still scared. I could be massaged for the whole flight and still think I’m going to die.
My priority when I get off the plane and get to a city is get situated at the hotel and then go on site and get a good practice in. Sometimes working out can help with getting over jet lag as well.
We do hear perhaps too many accolades generally aimed at people like Steve Jobs. We have to remember that there are other classic things in life that we undervalue and take them for granted. If you think of the classic lines of the modern jet aircraft, it’s really been there since early World War II.
In the ghetto we didn’t even know there was such a thing as a private jet.
You get so used to going to MetLife and then going right to the Giant locker room and now you go left to the Jet locker room and that’s a little weird – not anymore, but it was at first.
I’d like to wrestle an alligator and fly a fighter jet.
I am huge water sports fan. I love to jet ski, speedboat, water ski. So I love to get away to somewhere sunny and just get on the water and have some fun with some friends.
Fundamentally, we have broken our aerospace business into three parts – large parts which go into the wings and fuselage, components for jet engines, and specialised structural components for landing gear.
I felt like I was flying without a net. But once I realized that the audience was my partner, I was flying a jet, because the people would allow me to develop the character on stage.
At fashion shows, my brows often get bleached, and they’ve been dyed back much darker – like jet black, where you can’t even see my skin. Sometimes with Just for Men! What a mistake. At times, the two brows aren’t even the same color!
I remember in 1967, when there was that terrible fire on NASA’s Apollo 1 rocket that killed three astronauts, my father made pure oxygen and we lit this tiny cup and burned it. Suddenly, we had an unbelievable jet and a fire. You just could see exactly what had happened.
Usually I’m traveling for tennis, so the most important thing for me is to not get jet lag.
I used to be the third person in the secret jets we had – they were secret at the time – a jet bomber that flew at immense heights carrying atomic bombs.
I’m Ric Flair! The Stylin’, profilin’, limousine riding, jet flying, kiss-stealing, wheelin’ n’ dealin’ son of a gun!
I didn’t bring my headphones, I’d watched the two movies they had played and I was just like, ‘Can we please find a donor that wants to give us a private jet? This is not Okay.’
Putting seven people in orbit should not cost more than flying a commercial jet around Earth.
