Heiskell:

Oh, no. Where I went was--on the news tours, we would charter one big plane, and then so as not to have all our management together on one plane, we would take the G-2, Gulfstream II, along on the news tours, and if it was Shepley and I, or Donovan and I, one would fly one plane and one would fly on the other.

Q:

But was the G-2 used, as many of them are, to also take the top people to where they had to--bring them back from a weekend, or take them to a weekend, just get them around?

Heiskell:

It used to be, in what is known as “the good old days.”

Q:

Which would be from when to when? Approximately.

Heiskell:

Oh, that'd been in the 1960s. And then we clamped down, and there was less and less of it.

Q:

The G-2 could go abroad, right?

Heiskell:

Yes, it went around the world!

Q:

On the news tours,

Heiskell:

Yes. Sure, sure.

Q:

Okay. Anything else on real estate?
