You know you're rich when..

I just got a job working for a small FBO at my local airfield, Dutchess County Airport (KPOU). I do desk work and line work. The guy I work with, Carlos, who is a real nice and funny guy, was telling me about all these different planes that he had come in and the people he met. But this one story I found quite funny.

So this one day a few months ago there was a Gulfstream scheduled to come in. Considering that our main runway is only 5000 feet long and a Gulfstream is the largest aircraft our ramp can handle, it was a big deal. They had also requested that there be a limosine waiting at the airport to pick them up. Naturally, Carlos thought it was either some famous person or just an extravagantly wealthy person.

Ok, so the plane arrives on time, taxis to our ramp area, shuts down, and opens the stairway door. And who gets out? ....a black lab. That's right, a dog. One dog, and that was it.

When the pilots exited the aircraft Carlos asked them, "Is this for real?".
And the captain replied, "We thought it was a joke too."

It turns out some rediculously rich spoiled kid going to Vassar College (nearby) just missed his pooch and wanted to see him for the weekend.

...I guess when you have that much money, you can do things like that.
