The Jumbo Jets Boeing and Airbus Turn Into Posh Private Planes

Well the King of Saudi flies to the Cleveland Clinic once or twice a year and Allah forbids, he won't leave the palace at home without his 20 to 24 wives, assorted concubines and perhaps 30 offspring and the only way to do it is the old fashion taht is onboard the biggest plane his dinars can afford so traversing the 15,000 miles or so would not be that untolerable. Pity the poor guy.

I would rather help the poor if I had that much extra cash lying around.

Would be nice to do both - why not use your giant jet home to fly to places hit by disaster, living like a billionaire should, helping others, inviting them back to your jet for medical care and a clean place for kids to play if you want. If you are donating BILLIONS surely you should be able to enjoy nice things too.

Of course, not everyone who owns large jets like these do these things- some might.

Yeah and this is posible thanks to the very generous tax breaks that the Dumb-ya Bush granted them millonaires, ok?
