Advertising for Private Jets brought to you by Oprah!

Thursday, May 14th, 2009

Well this may be the one and only time you will ever see me blogging about Oprah Winfrey, much less giving her props.  That is not to say I don’t like harpO, but hey I am a male so generally speaking I am not her demographic so I guess it is okay huh?

Well Miss harpO did give a nice speech to the listeners at Duke University Commencement about the ‘American Dream’ and benefits of owning a corporate jet.  I think as a non pilot, but certainly as an avid aviation user and beneficiary Oprah conveyed what all we pilot types know.  Aviation, specifically general aviation and plane ownership, provides not only and incredible freedom and control of travel, but also can be a great business tool and an object of reward and pleasure from the fruits of your labor.

Thanks again Oprah for the ‘boost for GA’ although I wish my wings were a Bombardier Global Express, I will settle for just being able to get a Cherokee or Bonanza to get me there for now.

See to News Reference to her speech

Listen to an interesting story on the “American Dream” from national public radio here is the link, I listened to the broadcast on NPR
