Bombardier reports US$238M Q4 profit compared with loss a year earlier

The Canadian Press

A large part of the change from last year was due to significant sales of this bad boy ride. I’m sure we probably have several board members who own one or even two for those weekend family getaways or perhaps business trips?

Q-400 sweet airplane but can’t quite make it to Toronto from Halifax without a fuel stop in Ottawa. We often flew Porter that only had Q-400s … they serve really good red wine and let you keep the really cool glass. https://g.co/kgs/YiEPxJ

I fly on Q400s all the time. Going to do so tomorrow in fact. I like 'em. They load and unload from both the front and back. So load and go. Minimal time screwing around on the tarmac.

Tim,

I’m in love. Achieving sufficient means to afford one of these Bombardier beauties might be enough of a goal to motivate a person to strive for or to maintain great wealth.

With its 7700 Nautical Mile range, owning a Global 7500 personal jet empowers billionaires living in the Middle East (especially those located on an arc between Dubai and Moscow) to escape and reach any major city in the world without refueling. Interactive distance shading on the website’s “range map” is a fun feature of the website linked below.

The ability to make a quick getaway to almost anywhere is a unique kind of freedom only a few people on the planet enjoy.
