I thought the same, and so I asked about it. I learned that up top is actually a bar and lounge, with the associated panoramic view of the scenic valley and surrounding mountains. I joked that it could double as a totally awesome "tree stand". :P

I assume by owning so many planes he was SpecOps at one time? The more likely thought going through my head is he built a piece of hardware for SpecOps. Any ideas on his background?

He is the father of the winglet, according to a website. I was trying to figure out the area 37 planes myself. He's got a cool setup for sure!

The winglet option on the Falcon 2000LX is a $365K option.

Re: The largest private airstrip in Idaho

Is there something like this west of Gillette, Wyoming? I brought a friend out to some airport west of Gillette and I thought we flew over something like that? It was a few years ago, and I can't remember many details.

I thought the one I saw had something to do with winglets.
