Sweet... Wonder if it's just as good on the inside as it is on the outside.

It's hard to say. I would doubt it.

The owner of the plane, Astraeus, is a charter airline that tends to pack lots of holiday makers into its planes. I don't know for certain, but I do not think this airplane is outfitted like private B757's.

Last year, Genesis chartered a Boeing BBJ from Royal Jet in Abu Dhabi. That airplane had three bedrooms, a dining room and living room on board.

Nice to know they at least hold passengers instead of being selfish and having a private jumbo jet. I don't even believe in man made global warming I just think its dirty.

Yikes! That is a sweet plane. I wonder how much they are charging for t-shirts at concerts to cover the cost of that plane.

I know Bruce is a pilot, so I was thinking maybe he's using it for touring just to be able to write the taxes off..
