da plane da plane!!!

Photographer Nick Gleis snaps planes for a living. Some of his photos—as featured in the forthcoming Brighton Photo Biennial show—are of African dictators’ private jets, circa 1960 - 1970.

i covered off on Saudi prince al-Waleed bin Talal’s plane which is the most baller of all, BUT if you want a plane that has that old las vegas strip vibe, these definately foot the bill.

speaking of footing the bill, remember these planes represented 50% of that little countries GDP, or al-Waleed bin Talal’s bar tab at the carlyle.
