    That's what the platinum terminal is for sure

    In my world, the passengers drive to the side of the aircraft, no queues, security, nothing, at the destination another car awaits them and off they go.

    They have “people” to worry about baggage etc.

    I would get something like this, best of both worlds, although I would get a turbine version and not a radial engine.

    You saying all the mad alcohol fuelled sex parties in between are no good? :eek:


    Obviously couldn’t ever get one of them up and running.
    That’s why they sold the thing...

    Sold! We need more seaplanes today. And flying boats. And airships.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    The boats might circle around but the owners normally direct the yacht to be at a certain place on a certain day then they fly down to meet it where it is moored. It is fairly rare for the owner to sail on the yacht particularly on long voyages.


    I'd be wondering then where the craic is in that for them. If I was ever lucky enough to be able to afford one I'd be trying to spend a good part of the year on it touring around but what you mention is exactly what the stereotypical superyacht owner does - it's like they just want their own private floating hotel without really taking advantage of the fact that it's floating
