How many SL55 owners fly privately, and with which companies? I fly with Marquis, very good company. PM me for more details. DB

Why so expensive?
I go with CharterAuction (best deals),Sentient also beats Marquis hands down.
While it would be nice to have my own plane,it is not practical in my case.(various needs each time,either the distance or the # of passengers)

I like Marquis, because the planes are new, and the people know me and know the plane is well taken care of and safe. No one can beat Marquis with safety- because of NetJets. I used to do Ebizjets, didn't like it too much,

Easyjet for me, mainly from Luton.
I have now negotiated a special deal, which so far they have honoured, namely that if I get there late , they can leave without me!

What has this got to do with the SL? - nothing. As it happens, the planes we use here have two wings, one each side.

I was asking SL owners, thats why. I don't need everyone in Off Topic talking, that is why I directed it to SL55 AMG owners.
