An interesting court case, too

Once Knapp assured Mellon that Cessna would continue to service his airplane, with the exceptions noted above, Mellon purchased the modifications and had them installed on his airplane at a cost of approximately $1.2 million.

For over two years, Cessna stood by its agreement and the parties' business relationship continued.

However, on September 22, 1995, Cessna issued Service Letter SL500-03-01 ("the Service Letter") to all owners of Citations equipped with modifications similar to Mellon's. The Service Letter stated that Cessna would no longer perform certain maintenance, including major phase inspections.

I was going to quip about a billionaire flying around in a cheap 1979 Citation but then again that's probably why he's a billionaire.

Of that dynasty, yes.  Timothy has tried to restart Pan Am a couple of times and has a few railroads under his belt, too.
