Jackie Chan buys business jetBollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan recently said that he could not afford to buy plane and make films at the same time. While this became the topic of the B-town, far away in China, stuntman Jackie Chan has become the first customer in his country to take delivery of the Embraer Legacy 500 business jet, which has a price tag of $20 million.

“The Legacy 500 features our best-to-date technologies and it incorporates designs that maximise passenger comfort and fuel efficiency,” said Marco Tulio Pellegrini, president and CEO, Embraer Executive Jets.

A best-in-class carrier, the Legacy 500 is the first executive jet of its size to feature side-stick flight controls. At the vanguard of visual displays, the cockpit is equipped with a Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion avionics suite.
