There must be a lot of those planes being made to make a living at it.

Kevin Caulfield · Sep 6, 2017

Interesting article. Great answers. "What do you like about planes?" "Nothing."

They have nothing on the Starship, I didn't see a single fireplace on those billionaire planes.

I love what he says about the Kardashians. Can't stand them! No talent, just entitlement.

Those are totally product photos too. No interest in them at all, just blast everything with light. Not easy to do of course, but not very interesting, except for the paycheck which I would take all day long.

The picture with silver furniture... so that's what happened to the Robinson's space suits .

I cannot view site on my ancient phone. No matter, I can imagine what the interior looks like.

If I were rich, I would want just these: one propeller-driven aircraft like Lockheed Constellation. Next, just a simple Learjet. Finally, a nice MiG (a 15 or 21). Would have to hire qualified pilots, do necessary maintenance, and pay for hangar space.

Sadly, my feeble career as a computer geek just lets me buy cameras.

I hope the super rich do not experience any turbulence; there is not a seat belt in sight.

I would like to have the money to afford such an aircraft.

I knew a guy who flew F-104's in the Air Force in Germany. They would buzz cows.

I would think it's quite a challenge to light a space like the interior of an aircraft - long, relatively narrow, and lots of reflective surfaces. I would have liked to read more about the technical aspects.

Retire. Oh I am retired.
Buy more cameras and lenses. Oh I have all the camera equipment I want.
I would travel more, buy some houses, and upgrade my physical fitness. Loose forty pounds and become forty years younger.

Oh -- interesting comment. I wonder whether aircraft that may have transported Press photographers ever had darkrooms or facilities for developing film. This may have been needed in the 1950's .. 1980's on, for example, aircraft carrying heads of state or other high ranking officials.
