More importantly, would he take a seat in coach?
If Rev. Franklin Graham is flying with him, it's first-class all the way.
Graham's Boone empire Samaritan's Purse unveiled plans Tuesday night to build a new hanger at the Wilkes County Airport where the "non-profit" relief agency will house its new Falcon 900.
Price tag for a used Falcon 900? $21 million - $40 million. (It was the plane of choice for Enron's Ken Lay.) Before you start thinking Franklin is using this luxury corporate jet for nonstop deliveries of shoeboxes to children at speeds approaching 0.85 mach, think again: it seats 19 people and ain't used for cargo. But it can fly 4,500 miles nonstop (For reference, that'll get you from Charlotte to Berlin, Germany).
God forbid having to mingle with the heathens at an airport during a layover!
