"Hi everyone. I'm Russ Handler, travel expert. We are on location at Albert Whited Airpark in downtown St. Petersburg, Florida. And you know, it's pretty simple to get involved with executive air travel, but there's a few things that you need to know. First of all, if you're an executive, and you need to travel in your own plane, a few things to consider. Number one; you can either go ahead and purchase a plane and a crew, or you could purchase a plane and then hire your own crew. But most importantly, you could also have some other options, such as a time share. If you only travel four to six weeks out of the year, consider a time share. Or, you could just consider an outright charter, where you go ahead, and you go ahead and rent an aircraft as needed, plus the crew, and everything you need aboard for your comfort. Another option that you have, my friends, is to absolutely just outright purchase a private jet for your executive travel needs, but keep in mind that's going to require a crew. It could be a bit costly. I'm Russ Handler, and that's how you do it."
