Shaquille O'Neal, a prominent figure in the world of sports and entertainment, has taken to the skies with his own private jet. The NBA legend, known for his towering presence both on and off the court, now travels in a Bombardier Challenger 605. This aircraft offers him the luxury and flexibility necessary for his multifaceted career that includes business ventures, acting, and more.
O'Neal's decision to purchase a private jet marks a shift from his previous stance. In 2010, he expressed reluctance about owning such an aircraft due to maintenance concerns. He remarked, “I fit in a first-class seat, and believe it or not, I fly commercial all the time.” However, this changed last year when he acquired the Challenger 605 with registration N3250N for approximately $27 million.
The Challenger 605 is equipped with state-of-the-art technology and spacious seating. It features Shaq’s custom "Dunkman" logo on its tail. Inside, passengers enjoy plush leather seats and modern amenities like Wi-Fi and an entertainment system. With a range of about 4,000 nautical miles and cruising speeds around Mach 0.80, it suits O'Neal's busy schedule perfectly.
