'Buffett’s love of flying began in college and evolved over decades, culminating in his private pilot certification just before his 40th birthday. Today, he holds a Commercial Pilot License with multiple ratings, including instrument and type ratings for both jets and amphibious aircraft. His fleet includes several notable aircraft, among them the Hemisphere Dancer and a 1939 Grumman Goose seaplane. Over the years, Buffett has occasionally flown his planes over concert venues and has had a few close calls, including a 1994 water
accident and a 1996 incident in Jamaica that inspired his song Jamaica Mistaica. In recognition of his impact on aviation, Palm Beach International Airport even named the BUFIT ONE Departure procedure after him in 2009.'
