@screemname: If you can afford a 1.2 billion dollar boat than you, my friend, are above the law. Anybody who thinks different is just kidding themselves.
um...guess his addition to his yacht was no help since this photo of his boat was able to be published. I would install a laser guided missile launcher..more effective take out the camera and the photographer then no one can complain
And what's even more amazing is that he had an iPhone app to control the whole system but apple rejected it because it duplicates other iPhone functions.
@RainyDayInterns: They probably won't though, if the eclipse is only 3 minutes there may be enough time for the plane to make a 180 degree turn but you are losing a bunch of time you could have spent looking at the eclipse. It's probably more efficient to just only have one side looking at it.
Don't forget that a jet is also fast enought that it can almost stay with the eclipse point as it moves over the earth, thus prolonging the view of it. I can't imagine that they would not plot a course that would allow both sides of the plane to view it.
@facepuncher: Yes, but sadly the only power you will get is your other 4 senses heightened as your brain doesn't need to use the visual cortex anymore.
@facepuncher: Yes. Unfortunately you will then be inexplicably killed off randomly right as it seemed you were going to be actually worked into some sort of storyline. And you just get the power to punch faces. Enjoy.
Can you even consider someone that rich to part of humanity? I mean seriously...5O00 sq.ft for a bedroom, on a DAMN boat! WTF?. That is just so over the top stupid. The cost of that .boat. is more money than a handful of third world nations combined, what the hell are these money grubbin titans thinking about. Do they live on the same planet?? I bet this piece of shit runs on a mixture of raw oil and the blood of babies.

Sometimes people with to much money think they are above the law.
Besides, If 20 guys with 20 cameras are all pointing at the boat i doubt it can hit all 20 indefinatly at the same time.

The aisle seats would be a drag though!
