1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,040
So the April Fool's wasn't a joke, we actually bought a jet.

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:12,160
What started as a MIMON WAN Show, when I discovered that a jet propelled aircraft is not as expensive as I initially thought,

3
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:16,800
I'm serious. Okay. Even Luke was shocked.

4
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:24,000
So I started exploring various options, and my uncle's an aviation and has been for many years on the pilot side,

5
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:33,040
mechanical side, and operation side. Okay. So when I started to explore that one aircraft that I was like, this is shockingly affordable,

6
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,960
he did a bunch of the due diligence for me, and ultimately brought me

7
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,080
two sales brochures and he went, don't do this.

8
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:46,880
But if you're going to do this, these are the two best ways you can do it.

9
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:51,680
Okay. And I picked a Dassault Falcon 900B.

10
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,480
I have so many questions. You and everyone.

11
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,440
When you say it's not that much, how much is that?

12
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:02,720
So because of the non-disclosure agreement that we signed in order to purchase it,

13
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,760
this whole world is very closed door. Yeah.

14
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:12,320
I can actually tell you how much I paid. But what I can tell you is that if you Google it, it's less than that.

15
00:01:12,320 --> 00:01:16,720
And the second thing that I can tell you is that with a little bit of girl math,

16
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,960
zero dollars, I would have been crazy not to buy it.

17
00:01:20,960 --> 00:01:28,720
There's no way it's zero dollars. Well, let me put it this way. The engines were all on a service program from the previous owner that entitles you to

18
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:34,240
completely refurbish them to effectively zero hours brand new once they reach end of life.

19
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,360
All three of those were done right before we purchased it.

20
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,400
It's effectively brand new from an engine standpoint.

21
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:45,200
Each of those refurbishments is worth anywhere from 1.1 to 1.2 million dollars.

22
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:51,040
Each and there's three of them. The jet was also in for a 12 year service.

23
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:55,520
And because my uncle's a shrewd negotiator, he put together a purchase contract for us,

24
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,520
where it was guaranteed that once it came out of that 12 year service,

25
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:08,960
it was at Deso specification. That 12 year service effectively cost as much or more than the rest of our purchase price.

26
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:15,680
So what you're saying, he's got the plane for free. So when I'm done with it, with the condition that it's in,

27
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:22,800
with some of the special features that it has, for example, it is one of the few 900 bees on earth that has a Medevac kit.

28
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:29,920
When it's time to divest of this thing, I should be able to get back what I paid and maybe even the bulk of what I spent operating it.

29
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:34,080
That's pretty cool. So you didn't know all this?

30
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:38,080
I didn't. And I know that you were very opposed to the jet in the lead up to this.

31
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:44,560
I was very, I was very vocal against it. But the way that the math works, it's a little bit of cashflow tied up,

32
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,800
but we're not actually spending any money. Which is so cool.

33
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:53,680
Do you want to see it? I want to see the whole thing. Well, you're going to have to wait for this segue to our sponsor.

34
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,200
Give me the quick specs. How far can I go and how fast can it go?

35
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:15,600
It's a 1990. So it doesn't have the same kind of range as some of the longer range Falcon 900s that are,

36
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,440
you know, newer. But completely out of my price range.

37
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:24,320
But it'll still do about 4,000 nautical miles on a full fill up.

38
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:30,640
So what that means is that from Vancouver, we can go effectively anywhere in the North American continent.

39
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:40,240
And if we were on the east coast of North America, we could hop across the Atlantic in one go without having to stop and refuel at a little island airport.

40
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:46,720
On the subject of little island airports, one of the coolest things about the Falcon is that it's designed

41
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,080
to land and take off from relatively small airports.

42
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:56,960
So you only need a landing strip that is somewhere in the neighborhood of around 4,500 feet long.

43
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:04,560
In order to land and take off. Of course, that's all subject to weather conditions, atmospheric pressure, wind.

44
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:11,200
Other planes. I've definitely learned a lot and it's way more complex than

45
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,280
you would even begin to think it is.

46
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:19,120
I already thought it was pretty complex to be very, I'm like scared to touch this thing.

47
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,160
No, you can totally touch it. You can fit so much fuel in here.

48
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:26,480
Did you know that's where the fuel is stored in an aircraft? It's in the wings? Yeah. Cool, right?

49
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,360
I guess I don't know where else it would be. That makes sense. People are in there.

50
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,960
I assumed that jet fuel would be inordinately expensive.

51
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,880
It turns out that it's actually really similar to kerosene.

52
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,000
Okay. And doesn't really cost that much more than regular fuel.

53
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:46,320
How much does it store though? It's just the sheer volume of it that you go through.

54
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,960
Okay. With that said, I'm starting a family vlog.

55
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,720
That'll be coming soon. And the first episode is going to be a trip to Cabo,

56
00:04:54,720 --> 00:05:00,560
where I treated mine and Yvonne's families. When we factor in that the fuel coming back from Mexico

57
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,600
was half as much as we paid to go down. Oh, whoa.

58
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:08,480
It actually cost less than buying like a first class ticket for everyone.

59
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:13,840
Which was kind of mind blowing to me. I mean, first class, like sure, like let's be,

60
00:05:13,840 --> 00:05:17,520
let's bring it down to earth here. Yes, or not. But okay.

61
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,280
But it wasn't much more than even business class for everyone.

62
00:05:21,280 --> 00:05:26,400
Got it. Which blew my mind. So the big savings are going to be one where maybe doing a big company trip.

63
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,880
I mean, can I show you around? Today's yours. Let's do it.

64
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,400
I'm, yeah, where are we? What is this hole? Do you want to walk on the wing of a plane?

65
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,200
Can we both be up here? Like how much weight? Yeah. Okay.

66
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:46,080
Okay. We can both come up here. Okay. Okay. This feels so wrong.

67
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,200
I don't like this at all. Oh my gosh.

68
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:54,720
You like it a little. It's not as slippery as I would have thought.

69
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:05,760
I guess we would come up here for fueling. There's, I never really thought about where the gas tank,

70
00:06:05,840 --> 00:06:09,280
you know, is on a jet. But if the fuel is in the wing,

71
00:06:09,280 --> 00:06:13,520
obviously the fuel port would be on the wing. Does that mean there's another one on the other side?

72
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,880
I would assume so. You have to film both separately.

73
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:21,920
And both the same so that the plane will be balanced. In fact, on one of our recent flights,

74
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:29,760
Luke was talking to the pilots while they were flying, and they were explaining to him that because in the grand scheme of things,

75
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:35,520
the plane is so light in order to optimize its ability to carry passengers

76
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:41,200
in cargo, even small differences in weight distribution have to be accounted for.

77
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,880
So they were telling Luke that him hanging around with them up in the cabin

78
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,200
was actually negatively impacting fuel economy.

79
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:52,400
And if he went all the way to the back and sat in the very back,

80
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,640
they would actually have to make adjustments to the throttle

81
00:06:55,440 --> 00:07:03,120
in order to alter the pitch of the aircraft just a little bit. I assume that scale is different if you have a bigger jet versus smaller planes, right?

82
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:07,520
Yes, but even then. These are finely balanced machines.

83
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:12,080
You change one bit of furniture inside, and you've got to submit that.

84
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,600
You've got to get that certified. And potentially recalibrate. You've got to account for that.

85
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:21,360
Got it. Okay. Wow, that's kind of cool. Yeah. So here's the emergency exit from the outside, which I've never seen.

86
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,440
I've never looked in the outside of a plane. This feels so weird.

87
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:31,120
I had a lot of people ask me like safety was one of the big questions.

88
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:35,840
And I was like, look, lands would not allow me and my entire family

89
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,480
and Yvonne and her entire family to get on something that's not safe.

90
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:44,400
Sure. We are doing everything as scrappy as we can. We've got a great deal on this hanger.

91
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:48,720
Like seriously, shout out these guys. We'll link to their business in the video description.

92
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:53,520
So we're doing it scrappy, but we are not compromising at all on safety.

93
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,640
Now that we've made a safe landing. Okay.

94
00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:04,640
I feel it's a good time to talk about this. Whoa. Another major maintenance cost center on aircraft is the landing gear.

95
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:08,480
So rough landings, total landings and time,

96
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:12,720
all contribute to how often this stuff needs to be overhauled and checked.

97
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,880
Well, guess what? As part of my girl math zero dollar plane,

98
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:23,360
all three were completely redone months ago as part of a 12 year check.

99
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:28,080
I'm talking the whole plane goes up on struts or on donor landing gear.

100
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:32,160
They completely take apart the whole thing. New seals, new everything, new anti skid.

101
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,720
Make sure everything's working perfectly and they throw it back on.

102
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:39,440
So once again, when we go to divestive this asset,

103
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:46,880
business term for flip this, someone is basically buying a turnkey ready to go.

104
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,560
Nine hundred. Ever, ever looked up inside of the landing gear?

105
00:08:50,560 --> 00:08:54,480
No, no, no, believe it or not. I've never had the opportunity to do that.

106
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,680
It smells exactly like I would expect it to. It smells mechanical.

107
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:03,360
It's also like less complicated and as complicated as I expect.

108
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,240
Hey, want to see the first thing that I broke on it? Yeah.

109
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:08,320
The good news is it wasn't this.

110
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:17,040
That'd be. It was like the second night after it arrived and we hadn't shown the kids or any of my family

111
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,880
members yet. So I was like, oh, you know, do you want to come see it?

112
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:28,240
And they were like, um, heck yeah. And as part of just kind of poking around at it, I was like, okay, I don't know.

113
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,960
Do you want to like, do you want to like check out the baggage compartment?

114
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:35,440
Except there was only one small problem. The plane wasn't powered.

115
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:41,440
So after I opened this, which it turns out to close needs like a powered winch.

116
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:48,400
There was no way to close it. And in the baggage compartment was all the documents and paperwork for the plane.

117
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,600
Now that might not sound like that big of a deal. Let me put it this way.

118
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:55,520
Okay. It's about a pallet of banker's boxes this high.

119
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,680
And the way my uncle explained it to me is see that pallet?

120
00:09:59,680 --> 00:10:02,800
That's half the value of the plane. You don't have that.

121
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:07,760
There's no history for this bird. Nobody's going to want to touch it with a 10 foot pole.

122
00:10:08,560 --> 00:10:12,000
Because if they can't see all the service history or any of the maintenance, any of that stuff.

123
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:16,320
So they were all in here. So leaving this open in a shared hanger, not really an option.

124
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:20,480
Had to call my uncle who was doing flight training for this plane.

125
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:26,240
So you can have all the experience in the world. You still have to get certified for weeks on an individual airframe.

126
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,600
Okay. He's in the middle of class. I'm like, Hey, so the thing's open.

127
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:33,440
He goes, Oh my God, how could you? Okay. So here's what you have to do.

128
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:38,240
We had to hook up like the emergency power battery or something like that in the button of the plane.

129
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,720
It was a whole ordeal. Anyway, the point is want to go in the cargo hold?

130
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:46,080
It's not the first time a millionaire has asked someone that. Sorry, I don't include that joke.

131
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,200
That's a billionaire thing. Okay.

132
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:53,040
That doesn't make it in. Go to Floatplane.com. Subscribe for the extras.

133
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,360
Oh, I mean, he can go on it, right? Yeah, you're good.

134
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:58,480
Maximum weight 220.

135
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,320
Go ahead. I'll go on it. Yeah, you go in.

136
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,280
This wide angle lens makes it look a lot bigger than it is.

137
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,880
I can't even stand in here and I can touch both ends with my arms.

138
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,640
So it's about a three foot by three foot by three foot. Yeah, yeah, thank you for that.

139
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:23,040
So how do we close this thing now? Okay. Does not just have like a fob, like a car?

140
00:11:23,680 --> 00:11:25,040
Oh, baggage door closing.

141
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:42,560
When we were there that night and I had to close it, it made an awful noise.

142
00:11:42,560 --> 00:11:45,840
Okay. And I was probably pretty sure I broke it.

143
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:50,400
Hey, Lance, when I opened it, when you were in training, did I damage it?

144
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,960
No. That's not true.

145
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,280
Okay, so I didn't. I didn't.

146
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,760
So do you know the nickname for the plane? No.

147
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:05,920
It's the millennial falcon.

148
00:12:07,680 --> 00:12:09,920
Did we actually tell people what the name of the jet was though?

149
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,960
No, the public one of like... Oh, you mean the company? Yeah, are we allowed to disclose that?

150
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:19,520
Okay, it's called influence air. No, it's pronounced influence air.

151
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:29,040
Now I know what you're probably thinking. Hey kid, she looks nice from the outside.

152
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,520
But what you got under the hood of that thing? Is she a hemi?

153
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:35,680
No, she's not. Whoa.

154
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,040
Hold on, I'm going to try and do it.

155
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,240
It's stuck. Lance, help me.

156
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,320
How can you make something so simple, so complicated?

157
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,480
Okay. Whoa.

158
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,720
What the hell am I looking at? Okay, so this is our weather radar.

159
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:05,200
What this is our navigation computer. All of our communications.

160
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:16,080
What you're hearing is a cooling fan. Okay. In 1990, the rudimentary compute that was in here was a pretty big deal.

161
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:21,920
And while you can retrofit this with more modern computer systems,

162
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:28,480
it's one of those things like bedazzling your jacket.

163
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,480
You're never going to get your investment back on it. Got it, okay.

164
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,320
Can we swap those fans out for Noctua ones though? No.

165
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:40,400
Uh-huh. All right. And ho-ho.

166
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:47,680
Cool, hey.

167
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,400
Welcome, sir, to influence air. Thank you.

168
00:13:56,400 --> 00:14:03,520
Oh, wow. Dude, this is dumb in the best way possible.

169
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:07,440
Right? So, are you ready for a bomb?

170
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,360
Well, not in a plane. You can't say that. A truth bomb. Oh.

171
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:17,040
Would you like to know who the original owner of this plane is, who is responsible

172
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:19,120
for the gold-plated

173
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,880
ashtrays and gold-plated sinks? Uh.

174
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,040
Hold on. I'll let you see it first. Okay.

175
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:29,040
That's so...

176
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:36,000
Oh my goodness. 24 carat on that, baby. Is it actually?

177
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,200
Yeah. Plated. Oh, I thought... Oh, I thought you were...

178
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:43,120
Okay, I thought you were joking. No. Is this like Trump's plane?

179
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:50,240
This plane has had a few owners, but originally it was owned by the government of the United Arab Emirates, allegedly.

180
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:54,400
So this is what I've heard. This is what I've heard. Okay. May or may not be true,

181
00:14:54,400 --> 00:15:03,040
but that is my understanding of the origin of this aircraft. So they asked for some special modifications to be made as part of its production.

182
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:07,040
Like gold sinks. Like a gold sink. Okay, so that's that.

183
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:11,040
Do you want to sit in the cockpit? I was waiting to ask.

184
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,880
I just didn't want to interrupt. I'm going into the cockpit.

185
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:18,320
Holy cow. I'm a pilot. Well, not really. I shouldn't claim that.

186
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:22,320
Is that like... Definitely not really. So above you is a bunch of fuses and stuff.

187
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:28,320
And also a panel that has caused what was probably the most expensive issue

188
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:37,440
that we've had so far with this plane. Okay. See, one of these screws was a little bit too tight and was shorting out.

189
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:43,120
Oh. So that caused the illumination behind all these gauges to go out.

190
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,800
So we were able to fly, but only in daytime.

191
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:52,080
We were replacing power supplies and doing all this stuff until we finally found, well,

192
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:55,760
hold on. What if we back one of these out and eighth of a turn and that was it?

193
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:59,680
That was what saved it. That's the kind of stuff that from talking to Lance,

194
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:05,920
you run into after a 12 year check. This thing was taken down to studs would be the building equivalent.

195
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:09,920
Okay. Every bolt removed, cleaned, checked for corrosion.

196
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:14,000
So when you put it all back together, you might have some mishaps like that.

197
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:19,680
Couple little things like that. Got it. Any idea where you'd even begin to use any of this stuff?

198
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,800
I'm assuming this is go forward. That is go forward. Heck yeah.

199
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:26,240
I assume this is a steering wheel. Sure. Or are you...

200
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:33,120
You say that like... Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a steering wheel. Okay. Up here is all of your relevant flight gauges.

201
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:38,000
This would be our weather radar. Then these screens right in front are the actual flight displays.

202
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:42,880
Also up here is our parking brake and our super high tech compass.

203
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:51,040
Getting out of here. Guys, the next time you see like a six foot five pilot, you just like, I don't know.

204
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:54,640
Give them a thumbs up or something because I don't know how they get in and out of these seats.

205
00:16:54,640 --> 00:17:02,000
These are the best seats in the house. This was another one of the things that made this a much better deal than it otherwise would have been.

206
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:06,800
Remember I said the deal is that we get it in factory approved condition, right?

207
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:10,560
Sure. Well, part of that was the mechanisms for these chairs.

208
00:17:11,360 --> 00:17:18,400
These go forward, backward, side, side, and turn.

209
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:27,200
So that you can face the people in these chairs over here. How much do you want to guess that mechanism under the chair is worth?

210
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:34,480
Don't forget that it is aviation certified, which more than $10,000?

211
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:38,560
$5,000 per chair. Okay. And it was two or three of them were broken.

212
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:44,000
Okay, so I was right about $10,000. And we found so many little things like that.

213
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:48,960
Sure. That again, you know, girl math, when someone comes and looks at this thing, they're going to look it and go,

214
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:54,000
wow, okay, this is like babyed. Like everything is in working condition because we were like on it.

215
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:57,760
And this fix was still part of that original, you better believe it, bud.

216
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:04,240
They found one seal that was like a fraction of 0.1 millimeter out of spec.

217
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:08,400
My uncle pulled up the documentation, he said, no, it's not.

218
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,680
You signed to fix it, so. So we got it fixed.

219
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:16,960
Okay. Safe. The cost to add up for these things, which is why I was so hesitant on it because, you know,

220
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,560
there's a saying, right? If it flies floats or you're supposed to rent it.

221
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:27,680
Yeah, these are fun. Almost every seat has a little table, just kind of nice.

222
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:34,800
Okay. You know, pull out the laptop, get a little bit of work done. Sammy, I think got like almost a whole Floatplane video edited on this at one point.

223
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:39,200
I have a question about that. Yes. Wi-Fi, we have Wi-Fi.

224
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:45,600
Okay, how does it work? Well, you take a whole bunch of money.

225
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,200
And you give it to someone.

226
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:54,000
Okay. And then you get fantastic Wi-Fi.

227
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:59,600
How much is a whole bunch of money and how fantastic, fantastic thousands of dollars a month

228
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:06,800
and fantastic is like kilobytes per second and it's spotty.

229
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:13,040
So aviation Wi-Fi is moving from land based towers that you just fly over and then get

230
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:23,840
out of range and grab the next one. I see. And like I said, the speeds and everything is spotty to obviously low earth orbit satellites.

231
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:31,120
Got it. However, whether you're talking Starlink or whether you're talking about GoGo's Galileo,

232
00:19:31,120 --> 00:19:35,840
it has to be certified for your particular airframe and then to even get the hardware

233
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:40,880
installed is probably going to be in the neighborhood of 200 to 400,000 US dollars.

234
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:42,720
And then the monthly is not going to be any cheaper.

235
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:47,840
So we're not going to do that. I am leaning away pretty heavily.

236
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:51,840
What else is there to show you? This is fun. These four seats convert into a bed.

237
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:57,440
Oh, what? Yeah. I'm not going to show it to you because the mechanism involves this table

238
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:01,360
lowering down on this like accordion thing here.

239
00:20:03,120 --> 00:20:06,000
That was really loud. Anyway, this is cool.

240
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,400
Oh, whoa. There we go.

241
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:15,360
Then you just put in the leaf. And if you give it a little shove, oh, okay.

242
00:20:15,360 --> 00:20:18,320
We've had as many as like half a dozen people playing cards around here.

243
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:27,200
Now, this is interesting. In here, you will find a high tech three and a half millimeter jacks and.

244
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:40,720
Now in practice in flight, there's a lot of like background noise.

245
00:20:41,360 --> 00:20:45,120
So it doesn't sound amazing. You're way better off just putting in your headphones.

246
00:20:45,120 --> 00:20:48,800
But one of the things that Lance said was, hey, while it was in for that 12 year check,

247
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:53,200
we should look at getting it sound treated because that is something that carries some value

248
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,480
and is something that makes a big difference to the experience. And then he looked into it.

249
00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:01,280
Turns out it already had like state of the art sound treatment. So it's it's actually quite comfortable to be in.

250
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:07,360
I guess I have one more question. Oh, yeah. If you're talking about like a whole cabin sound treatment, can we wrap the plane?

251
00:21:07,360 --> 00:21:13,120
No. Sorry, I knew the answer. It was just like the number one Reddit comment when people found the jet.

252
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:17,440
I'd love to. It'd be so cool. You'd be adding so much weight.

253
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,800
Got it. In vinyl that it would affect the fuel economy.

254
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:25,840
And also the heating and cooling cycles, the expansion and contraction of the airframe.

255
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:30,560
It's not worth it. Naturally, this is the best place to have a meeting if you were to do it here.

256
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:37,680
Oh, there you go. And it's magnetic. Oh, so this is probably the most comfortable place to sleep.

257
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:41,360
You've got the privacy curtain and you've got the ability to loop.

258
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:49,840
There. OK. So if you were going to have a nice little sleep, this would be the place to do it.

259
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:54,960
And then I think there's some kind of like, there's like a thing in here.

260
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:55,920
Yeah.

261
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:05,840
That you can pull out. Oh, whoa. And I think this like can go in the middle and then you can have a little mattress thing or

262
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:09,280
something. You can turn this whole thing into like a giant bed. Oh, wow.

263
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:13,040
I don't know. I don't care about that. OK. I don't need to have an orgy in the back of the plane.

264
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:17,280
That's for the front of the plane. That's for the ones with a B, not an M.

265
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,320
OK. This is something I actually want to fix.

266
00:22:21,120 --> 00:22:24,160
So see how there's a little kind of crack at the top? Yeah.

267
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:29,920
That's for good reason. Because if you were to open this, it would wing here.

268
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:34,720
So this piece has to slide up and down, depending on whether it's open.

269
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:41,200
It doesn't open all the way. And I feel like that's the kind of thing that one of our very smart people like,

270
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,560
you know, Justin or Sebastian could probably help fix.

271
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:53,840
It's actually really loud. In plane. Because this is open to the, we've come full circle.

272
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,760
Oh, that's the cargo hold. Baggage. OK. You can go in there now.

273
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:01,120
It's not that big, hey? You're very right. It's actually quite small.

274
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,280
Man, you made this look huge, though, with your height. Oh, my God.

275
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,760
Wait, so is this another bathroom back here? Yeah. Oh, OK. That's another toilet there.

276
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:13,920
Yeah. Cool. What about second gold-plated sink?

277
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:17,840
What is this? What is this Canadian curling boop?

278
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:23,680
OK. I can explain that. Please. We've had some issues with this little plunger here.

279
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:29,520
See, normally it's sealed. Yeah. And you push it down to drain it.

280
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:34,080
And there's suction. So on the last flight, I forgot whether it was pusher pull.

281
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:39,360
And they had glued the little thing on the top. And they had used a pretty crappy glue, honestly.

282
00:23:39,360 --> 00:23:45,120
I don't think that's entirely on me. OK. So I forgot if it was pusher pull and I pulled it and the thing came off.

283
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,720
So now there's a label and a boop.

284
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:56,880
Is two bathrooms really needed on a jet this big? Because you can have up to, including crew, like 17 people on here.

285
00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:02,080
Two people may need to use the pooper at the same time. Got it. Well, if you guys ever need to do a trip again and you just need to,

286
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:05,120
you know, you're at 15, you need 17 or whatever.

287
00:24:05,120 --> 00:24:09,920
My wife and I would love to join you. OK, all right. I'll keep that in mind. But of course, we'd have to have a meeting when we get there, though.

288
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:13,040
Absolutely. And a meeting on the plane if we really need to. About important things.

289
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:16,080
Yeah. Shh. Come on. Give us some privacy here.

290
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,240
We're trying to have a meeting. Hold on. I got this.

291
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:23,680
Oh, you know what else I've got? It's the segue to our sponsor.

292
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:30,080
If you guys enjoyed this video, why not go check out April Fool's for running a huge promotion on the store right now.

293
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:36,400
These are probably all sold out by the time you watch this, but we've got these cool little LTT coin.

294
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,520
