From todayโs ultra chic, state-of-the-art private jets to Lockheedโs 1957 Jetstar, this 2-hour special investigates the history, the luxury, and technology of Americaโs corporate jets. We meet a few of the men and women who pioneered themโBill Lear, Clyde Cessna and his nephews, Walter and Olive Beech. Actor Michael Dorn explains what it takes to buy a previously-owned jet. And, we see the latest in kit jets and look into the new must-have of the super richโjets the size of commercial airliners.
