Steve Varsano shows a potential client a video wall displaying full-size cross-sections of private jets. Starting with 145 aircraft models and a $25 million budget, filters for 12-seat capacity and 15-year age limit narrow it to three options: G550, Falcon 7X, and Falcon 900. The sale projects $1 million profit.

You're going to earn a profit of $1 million. This video wall is the exact width and length of the passenger compartment of a G700 and a Global 7500. From the galley door to the lav door, we compare every single airplane, full-size, cross-section, and floor plan on the video wall. How much you want to spend? Let's say $25 million. So now out of the 145 air models, there's 115 that have at least one for sale. Okay, well, how many people do you want to carry and how many seats do you want? Under $25 million and 12 passenger seats is $39 9 models that are left. Okay, what's the oldest airplane that you're willing to fly? Let's say maximum 15 years old. So now we're down to 26. Then the question is, what's the longest trip that you take 5 or 6 times a year? So if you're flying from New York to Chicago every couple weeks and you're going once to California a year, you don't need to buy an airplane to go to California. So then you say, okay, let's compare a G550, a 7X, and a Falcon 900. The yellow is the Falcon, the red is the Falcon 7X, and the blue is the G550.
