I asked Leon to provide color on art-related use of the plane along with other investment related use or business related use. You were questioning whether we needed that. We've been talking to the EY plane tax guy, who seems very competent. He has been involved in numerous audits involving planes of every size, and has some active audits now. He says that the audits are all over the place on what they like to see in terms of back up. He prefers more back up than less. Regarding audits more generally, I meant to mention that several tax people have advised us that state auditors have been very active, are expected to increase their activity, and often behave completely differently from the VHNW IRS auditors. The IRS has little budget for expansion, but the states are spending money and hiring agents. California, NY and CT are the worst. EFTA00644857
