April 18th, 2011 Aircraft Ownership is the New Symbol of High Status

When thinking of the lifestyles of the rich and famous the thing that most often comes to mind is the vast array of lavish houses, cars, and most importantly expensive toys that the wealthy can afford. Years ago to show true achievement in the socioeconomic hierarchy one would purchase elegant mansions, and cruise around in luxury and pricey spots vehicles. But now the standards have been purchased a bit further. No longer are expensive getaway trips year round, enormous yachts, and palatial multiple houses sufficient enough. Now, one must purchase their own aircraft.

Many popular songs hitting the airwaves discuss the star status of owning a private plane, the luxuries involved, and how it is one of the ultimate millionaire toys. For example one that many may be familiar with is a song titled, “Like a G6” written and performed by the band Far East Movement, which talks about the famous G6 plane. Similarly teen pop singer Jesse McCartney had a song like this, which was an instant hit among the younger generations.

Though the price tag for owning such a lavish form of transportation is exceedingly high, multi-millionaires not only have to fork over the funds for the plane itself but must also posses enough cash to pay for the aircraft engine parts when in need of repair, a pilot, maintenance, fuel, etc. Thus much like owning a vehicle, the expenses do not stop once the car is driven off the lot; though this example is rather miniscule in comparison to purchasing an aircraft.

Flying is an enjoyable experience, and perhaps because of this, wealthy individuals choose to allocate their funds into such an investment. Many well known stars own their own private planes such as multi-billionaire Donald Trump, John Travolta whom became a certified pilot, and singing sensation Paul McCartney. Thus the ownership of an aircraft has truly become a symbol for high socioeconomic status. The Mercedes, million dollar homes, and yacht will no longer cut it. One not only needs to worry about garage space for the luxury vehicles, but must also invest in a hanger to hold an airplane.

Thus, when fantasizing about making it big, or winning the large lottery jackpot, one of things that need to be added on the purchasing list is an aircraft. The notion of being whisked away to any destination, at any time, by simply requesting so is an indication of true power and social hierarchy. Not only this, but not having to deal with the hustle and aggravating processes at airports, and eliminating the uncomfortable seating arrangements on many economic flights, may be well worth the investment to many.

March 10th, 2011 Don’t be stranded due to aircraft repairing needed. Get it fixed with the right tools

When deciding to get-away on a long destination vacation, it is rather upsetting to find out that aircraft maintenance is severely needed, and the right tools are not on hand to repair it. This is a terrible situation to be found in. Thus, one needs to insure that it be avoided by properly stocking in all aircraft engine parts needed as well as maintenance supplies.

While browsing the many websites on the World Wide Web, one in particular stood out amongst the rest due the extensive inventory selection, as well as the easy-to-use website appeal which made for easy shopping. The website also featured a secure web platform that was made the purchasing and shopping process safer and easier.

Flying is an enjoyable experience. Traveling through the air, not only saves time obviously, but gives one the unique ability of being dubbed a pilot, and having the skies almost all to oneself. Though, some have an extreme fear of flying, safety regulations should be maintained as well. The premier online retailer, as being one of the top sellers in aviation equipment to airline mechanics and technicians comply with aviation safety rules.

Overall, when wanting to fly out to a remote destination for vacation and the inability to leave due to a maintenance issue is something that may be considered a worse-case scenario and something that must be avoided at all costs. The particular situation may be considered embarrassing and a bit of a hassle. Owning an aircraft is a specialty that many do not get the luxury of indulging in. Thus, one must insure in the proper maintenance of the aircraft to insure proper flight abilities. Not only this, but to also guarantee that when a friend or family member is wanting to fly to a get-away destination, the plane will be set and ready for the flight. And with the correct supplies, the aircraft will be flying at top performance levels.

November 29th, 2010 How Do The Rich Fly?

People have this view that rich people own their own jet. Like when they fly into some premier on the other side of the world they do so on an jet which sits in their backyard airstrip waiting for them to jet around the world on it. While it’s true that some big celebrities own, and even fly, their own airplanes, most don’t. In fact, most private planes that fly celebrities around the world are actually owned by private jet services which sell flight time to companies, as well as celebrities. These private jet services are owned by regular people who started a business. Sure, they may know a bit about airplanes and such, but most of them are smart businessmen, and businesswomen, who found a market and went with it. The thing is, though, when you run a airline service, you need to make sure you surround yourself with the right types of people, people who know everything from aviation rules to where to get aircraft engine parts.

The average person is not going to go out and start their own jet business. In fact, you might be certifiably crazy if you do. This isn’t like going out, buying a limo, getting your specialty drivers license and opening a business; you are dealing with airplanes and air travel? The thing is, though, while you might be certifiably crazy, that doesn’t mean that it’s a terrible idea, as long as you know what you are doing. If you have a lot of extra money to buy a few private airplanes, know a couple of professional pilots and know how to create a strong business that brings in the right type of people, well, you just might have a success story on your hands.

Of course, when you fly people around the region, country, or world, depending on what you want to do with your business, you are typically looking at a customer base that has a lot of extra income. You are talking about people who would rather take a private plane trip then go on anything commercial. In other words: millionaires, celebrities and established companies. Be sure that you know this going in and have a way to get this people to trust you for their flying needs.

You can actually find a wide variety of information on how to start a private airline business online, as well as websites that will help you get the supplies you need, as well as parts, maintinence gear, and yes, even track down a new plane to purchase. Yep, you can do just about anything online now a days.

July 15th, 2010 Putting Our Faith in the Parts

There is a good chance that you’ll never ever understand what individual aircraft engine parts actually do, or what all those little gauges mean in the cockpit. Or those flaps on the wings, they slow you down, right? Let’s face it: you have no idea what anything on an airplane actually does, we just hope that they all work together so that you’re able to get to from point A to point B at the time listed on the ticket. It’s kind of funny that we put so much trust into complex machines like airplanes when we barely know how they work.

As a society we have a tendency to be willfully ignorant about how or why things work. We don’t really take the time to learn how an airplane stays up in the air, but instead just put our trust into simple physics that we will stay up long enough in the air to get to Cleveland, or wherever we are going. It’s the old idea that we would rather just eat the sausage instead of figure out how it’s made, because to do that would be terrifying.

Not that figuring out how an airplane stays in the air is terrifying or anything like that, it just takes us away from the idea that a flight at 30,000 feet is merely humdrum. If you look at an aircraft as just one large machine with wings and an engine, it’s much easier to trust that everything will go swimmingly. It’s when you start to think about how thousands of parts must work in perfect synchronicity that you begin to get a bit uneasy. Think about it: most planes don’t crash because the wings just fall off- they crash because of a mechanical failure. It’s the little things that make all the difference.

The good thing is that we have gotten to a place where if we don’t want to think about it we don’t have to. It’s the reason why airlines employ thousands of well trained, well educated experts to make sure that everything stays in perfect shape. The good thing about having so many parts in an airplane is that chances are one part stalling or malfunctioning won’t cause an issue because there are so many back up parts that something will take over. So while you’re sitting in your seat drinking a diet soda and reading the newest Patterson book, thousands of man hours are making sure that you make it to your destination not only in time, but also in one piece.

May 28th, 2010 Flying: The Miracle We Take For Granted

There was a joke I heard the other day from this comic named Patton Oswalt. Without repeating the naughty parts, the jist of the joke was that flying is in a plane is going in the face of everything that humans were meant to do. You’re essentially flying a building at 30,000 feet hoping that psychics will keep you airborne. Heck if we know what aircraft engine parts do, we just know that it keeps us up in the air.

When something has become part of our lives we tend to take it for granted. Flying is definitely one of those things. We were not, as human beings, meant to fly. We are earth dwellers. We had to invent something to put us in the air. Now we view it as more of an annoyance then a spectacle. We spend our time in the air trying to waste it with bad magazines and watered down drinks instead of thinking about how magical our journey is.

I remember in high school a teacher asked me what I thought that most astounding thing humans have ever done in our short history. I didn’t have to think about it for more than two seconds: go into space. Or, more so, go into space so much it isn’t a big deal anymore. What used to be a spectacle that was met with ticker tape parades and commemorative coins are now nothing more than a small blurb on the news. Oh, Discovery went up again? What else is on? The fact that we are launching a giant rocket with thousands of intricate parts seems to not impress anyone anymore. Let’s not forget about the fact that we are also strapping thousands of pounds of highly explosive rocket fuel to the machine.

You can tell that we take something for granted when we view it as a negative more than a positive. We HAVE to take a plane. We HAVE to go to the airport. The fact that hundreds of people work to keep you from dying in the air and on the ground seem to not matter, it’s nothing more than an inconvenience to us (especially when they lose our luggage, I’ll admit that is super annoying). I guess you could make the same argument about the car, or really any complex machine. Do people not understand how much of a miracle something like a microwave is? We are cooking something with light for heaven’s sake.

Of course I’m guilty of this too. I’m typing on a computer right now just trying to pound out the last few words instead of marveling at what’s it’s done for me. Self contained intelligence? Puff… I just made it to five hundred words…

Kim Green is often in awe of what aircraft engine parts are capable of doing.
