There is a TV show called “Plane Repo” that recovers planes for the banks. Every runway strip has plane spotters looking at the plane’s tail numbers to make a buck by dropping the dime to the plane repo companies. Looks like the plane spotter got a big payday by dropping the dime to the Feds. The Feds give a bigger payday based on the jet’s selling price.

May any Maduro, ayatollah, Putin, Idi Amin, Pol Pot, Fidel Castro, Stalin,
and others like them, as a Hitler, also not have another Personal Plane.
That is perhaps one way we can feel about this.
