    Very nice, Art. Looks like a lot of fun.... Funny how pilots take picts of the front of plane and passengers take picts of the back.

    Was wondering what a "friend" does to take a $25MM aircraft to lunch - until I googled Yianis.

    Awesome. :)

    How did you like the yoke??? My buddy is a captain for Republic on EMB 145 and he seems to like the layout. I flew the CRJ and the Airbus, but I think that the yoke on the EMB would be difficult to get used to.

    They bought the plane from Yiannis and refused to pay the 60k to repaint the tail. Google "Ruth Parasol" and you'll see what they do. Her Dad, Rick is a friend. He has the hanger next to me at the airport. Ruth sent the Legacy over with her kids to see the grand parents, and we got to take it to lunch. BTW: .7 mach was the climb speed!!!!!

    Wow, Partypoker.com, online casinos, and phone sex!

    On a side note, her partner "Anurag Diks h i t" sure does have an unfortunate last name! :)

    The interesting thing is her dad, Rick. He is a war hero, and a very big deal in Israel. Served with Peres and Sharon in several wars. Very successful guy, started Partypoker, and gave it to her. Holocaust survivor, lost his family then.

    I think almost any dad would do that for a daughter if he could. I would.

    Sounds like a wonderful family. No greater blessing than good family and friends.

    And in this case, a good A&P... :)

    Looks like I'm on my way to Europe to help bring back his 501. If I can get free, will post pictures. (hopefully, it won't break like the last time, when the new flat screen stuff took a crap).

    Is that a Citation or is it a mis-type meaning CL-601? With a Citation you will be making several stops across the pond.

    She is a fellow resident of Girbaltar. From what I hear she probably wasn't on the plane? Think she is persona non grata in the US because of the "illegal online gaming" situation.

    Stallion conversion. Has about 1800 mile range, so we will make one stop coming across, usually in Iceland.
