[rsmith6621]

.....to be processed out of the Italian justice system and released. A friend of mine who is a corporate flight planner and has access to this information has told me that a very high profile TV celebrity sent their extended range business jet to Italy yesterday and is ready on an hours notice to wisk her home to Seattle non-stop..

1. I bet

it is George C.

2. Don't think so...

...the key phrase is.... non-stop to Seattle that is what kind of jet it is.

4. Travolta?...n/t

8. That's what I tought, too, he's qualified to fly the big ones

but he's movies, not TV. Then again, the reporter probably just got the medium wrong.

5. Donald Trump, I bet. He has been making public statements

persuading people to ban all travel to Italy until the verdict is overturned.

3. Oprah

10. I'd guess Oprah Winfrey as well.

Oprah Winfrey did an episode with the Knox family about her imprisonment, and she's indicated her support for Knox in the past.

More importantly, the stories have claimed that the jet belongs either to a "television star" or a "television network". Winfrey, who is a major television star, is also the owner of the Oprah Winfrey Network/Harpo, along with Discovery Networks. She's one of the few people in television who could send a jet that would fit BOTH claims.

12. Well--Oprah DOES have a NETWORK, stands to reason she has a TV network Jet, too! nt

[Xithras]

13. She's had several jets over the years.

She doesn't exactly make a secret of it.

After a few minutes of Googling, it looks like her current jet is a Bombardier Global Express, which she bought through her TV network in 2009 for $42 million.

Must be nice to have that kind of money :)

14. Tax Cuts! 42 million dollar jets! Ain't life grand?

:puke:

15. Jesus, what a bigfooted carbon footprint!!! But damn--that IS a nice plane! nt

6. This has been a rumor for a couple days

I don't know if it's true.

[MADem]

7. Some papers were reporting it was a US tv network jet. nt

9. heard an attorney calling in to "In Session" say that there is a plane to get

her out "immediately" before some prosecutor tried some legal maneuver to keep her there...

TV said she would stay the night then go to Rome in the a.m. but based on what I heard...she is probably on the way home already.

[MADem]

11. That is my guess too--she was out the prison door and into a car rather quickly.

I'd run like hell myself--and never go back!
