Nope ... but it does have a continuously variable normally aspirated intake system that can be seen on the left side of the mechanism. The dead give away is that the things that look like plug wires, are plug wires. The other dead give away is the size of the drive pulleys.

So, my wife bought lottery tickets. Since our paycheck no longer allows a Cadillac a month, or six months for that matter, what would you guys blow a few hundred million on?
Nominations:
or perhaps

I'm kinda thinking all three, since two of the three could be leased back and used as a self supporting tax write off. The airplane is a business necessity ... otherwise how could you check on your boat? None would be financially irresponsible since none are really going to drop in value.
Frankly, I don't get why more buyers don't go for an older business jet. The performance, dollar for dollar, is much higher and the parts are cheap. These things don't fly often, so who cares what the fuel burn is when the maintenance & insurance on a new light jet can set you back $300,000 a year anyway.

If I won $450M +/-, uncle sugar gets a chunk...

Hearing lots of rumors regarding Skywest and Pinnacle and Delta. Anyone have any insight? Bar or ACL? Anyone else getting worried about how big Skywest is getting? It won't be long before the tail starts wagging the dog.

quick contract question
If I am a reserve guy and they assign me a trip (and I acknowledge it in Icrew) then it later gets cancelled "NOOP". Do I get pay protection/credit for it? I did not actually drive to work and sign in.
I have a feeling the answer is probably no, but never hurts to check- you guys are faster than reading contract for next hour to find it.
THX!

For those of us who see mega signs daily, tomorrow it will swing down to $12M. Over the next dozen drawings it won't probably cross $20M. Nobody will buy, they're buying now.
