The Boeing was a former Qantas Airways plane. John is an ambassador for Qantas, so maybe he got a deal on this one. Either way, he probably wanted to rep their plane. While it used to be a commercial airplane, John turned it into a private plane with two bedrooms! The total cost of the plane and upgrades was about $77 million.

However, now he has donated that particular plane to the Historical Aircraft Restoration Society, which is located at Sydney called Albion Park Airport. If you are ever there, you can see his plane! It sounds very nice.

John has opened up about the Challenger and said it was owned by the creator of Learjet, Bill Lear. John said, “It uses Canadair technology, which has evolved to an extraordinary degree since the 1970s, although it is a 30-year-old Learjet design.”
