Talk:Arthur Jones (inventor)

arthur jones's flight experience

[This article claims that Jones had accumulated 44,000 hours flying time. To put this in perspective, it would be unlikely for an airline pilot to accumulate this much experience in a 35 year career. Unless this can be substantiated, it is hard to swallow.] 71.107.250.143 (talk) 21:49, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Try "it's complete nonsense". To put that into perspective, that's more than 15 years of 8-hour flying EVERY SINGLE DAY. And thus, I shall remove it. 85.229.55.77 (talk) 21:45, 30 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Arthur Jones' wives

See http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1873&dat=19840513&id=yVIgAAAAIBAJ&sjid=ic4EAAAAIBAJ&pg=1495,8161027 :

"Daytona Beach Morning Journal - May 13, 1984
"Lake Helen -- It's Terri Jones' 22nd birthday, and folks around the sprawling Nautilus Industries Complex are telling her she's over the hill.

"As the fifth wife of millionaire Arthur Jones, who admits to having a penchant for "younger women, faster planes, and bigger crocodiles," Terri is used to the good natured teasing, not only from employees but from her husband as well.

"Married for more than three years to Jones, 58, Terri enjoys a life of travel and work that centers around the Nautilus exercise machines that her husband designed, refined and parlayed into a multi-million dollar business.

"A strikingly attractive brunette, she met Jones at a Stars of Tomorrow beauty pageant in Miami. She was 17.

You can fly home again

By Jean Patteson | Sentinel Staff Writer Posted May 28, 2003
"But no one is more enthralled by it than Terri Jones Thayer, the green-eyed beauty queen who married Jones when she was just 18 -- and he was 55.

"It was the polestar that guided her home after divorce, a second marriage and the birth of her two children.

"Now it is the foundation upon which Terri and her second husband, Jeremy Thayer, 49, a jeweler and developer, are building their future. The runway is the heart of Jumbolair Aviation Estates, the fledgling fly-in community the couple is developing on their 55-acre estate just north of downtown Ocala.

"A few months after that flight, she sold her modeling school and went to work for Jones as his Nautilus model. She married him the following year in Las Vegas -- just days after he divorced his fourth wife."

"There were times, though, when life with Jones -- a brusque and demanding man -- seemed more like the school of hard knocks. After nine years together, the couple divorced in a bitter court battle."

We might include a hyperlink from the "Terri Jones" name to the Jumbolair section of http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Greystone_Airport ?

I wish I could find information about his other wives. Hope this helps!Darci (talk) 18:19, 13 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
P. S. I doubt Jean Patteson's claim that Terri sold her modeling school. Perhaps she meant she bought out her modeling contract (at Avon IIRC)?

HIT cult article

Who wrote this article? Large parts of it read like someone from the HIT cult wrote it - especially the totally irrelevant Arnold Schwarzenegger comment. Dear oh dear Robin J Thomson (talk) 22:14, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
