We need more people like him running companies, especially when they save decent aircraft. :)

That'd rock, though I hope Virgin Airlines is able to use them as a loss-leader.

I'm unsure if he really wants them operating as airliners, he was more interested in staving off the scrap heap future and keeping them airworthy for airshows and so on. Though you never know.

That guy is nuts. He had something going down here on the Bay and he arrived on a jetski or something (needed a personal exemption license to do it, too).

I like his new Voyager class trains, damn luxurious. They're better than airliners, I've rode on the Sir. Ernest Shackleton and the Amelia Earhart so far.

Bah, I don't use the train here in the US.
