Is this an April Fool’s joke or real?
"Oracle CEO loses latest bid to land jet late"
biz.yahoo.com
Larry Ellison has lost the latest round in his bid to be allowed to land his $40 million jet in San Jose after the city's landing curfew. Wing and a Prayer, the company that operates the plane, filed a lawsuit following a charge by city officials that Ellison violated the curfew six times in a year. The attorney representing both Ellison and Wing and a Prayer said the Gulfstream V was far quieter than some lighter planes and that the city should base its curfew on noise, not weight, the Chronicle reported.

Ellison is building a 23-acre Japanese-style imperial villa in nearby Woodside at a cost of more than $80 million.

Ellison is slipping...Willie Gary, the attorney who filed the discrimination suit against Microsoft traded his Gulfstream in for a Private Boeing 737; from proceeds of other class action lawsuits.
