Just How Much Money Do These Guys Make ???

Here's a couple of clips...

It's an older Falcon 20 I think, but just how much
money do these guys make... Falcon 20, that's
a good thousand dollar an hour airplane... In fact
I doubt you can operate that airplane for twice that,
maybe more....

This little incident will cost what, a half a million,
to who knows,,,, if there is extensive wing damage...
One million ???


He also fly's his own Jet Bell Ranger, that's another
thousand dollar an hour aircraft... He has a 1000 acre
ranch, with his own helipad... Good God, and Buddha,,,
the money these guy make... No wonder the Indy Car
dropouts want on board...

As much flying as these NASCAR guys do, that is
where the next big loss in NASCAR may well come....

News clip with another clueless talking head shooting
her mouth off... But at least a picture of the airplane at rest...

Its happened more than once

Curtis Turner
Alan K
Davey Allison
And dont forget the plane crash outside of Martinsville that took out many Hendrick employees

Ive heard the teams are cutting back on air miles. Driving crews to some of the closer races these days rather than fly them all in like they did just a few seasons back.

But the drivers have more money than time. A couple Gs for a private plane ride is money well spent if it lets them sleep in their own house that night

It's simple statistics, really. The more landings and takeoffs you do, the more likely you are to be involved in an accident. A lot of these guys do a lot of flying.

Was Jack Roush driving???

I shouldnt laugh, but.....

Interesting the media hasn't picked up on the fact that the aircraft is actually owned by Biffle...it's a 1973 Dassualt Falcon 20 as BWH noted.

Most of the top tier drivers own their own jets.

Yep. But it seems news reports are focusing on Roush Fenway and Jack's poor decision to imitate a P-51 rollout and short field landing in a Premier 1 bizjet at Oshkosh last year.

Glad all are okay.
