This was the moment a ramp agent spotted the $35 million Gulfstream private jet of Rick Ross landing on the tarmac.
If you’ve spent any degree of time looking at celebrity planes online, you’ll have no doubt seen Ross’ iconic jet at one point or another.
It’d be hard to miss, with his name emblazoned across the side of it.
But one lucky ramp agent got to see it in the flesh.
Rick Ross owns a $35,000,000 Gulfstream private jet, which is a sight to behold
You’ll have no doubt heard plenty of fanfare about this jet at one point or another.
Whether it’s the hangar that this plane calls home or the gold letter livery that makes the plane his own, this Gulfstream is an icon through and through.
And that’s not forgetting the time he offered up a job as a flight attendant for an incredible salary.
This plane has become something of an aviation icon, and with good reason.
Videos of it taking off are enough to grab the internet’s collective attention.
And the same can be said for videos of it landing, as a clip from Instagram has demonstrated.
The video was filmed at the airport in Toulouse, France.
And what a majestic sight its landing is.
Let’s just say the comments section of this video was ablaze with fire emojis.
Celebrity jets really are the best of the best
From Max Verstappen to Cristiano Ronaldo, celebrity jets are very much ‘in’.
Not that a supercar or a superyacht has gone out of style or anything.
But that’s just an extra bit of flex in the knowledge that you’re rich enough to own a plane.
