The Jet’s fin is branded with his signature number 10, whilst his name, his wife, Antonello, and their three children, Thiago, Ciro and Mateo, are written on the steps. According to reports, the aircraft contains a kitchen, two bathrooms and 16 seats that can be turned into eight beds to sleep through the night.  ]]>
